  SERIES TITLE      Project Administration Records: Records 
                    Relating to the Counting of Human Subjects

  DESCRIPTION  This series (IRB No. 88 01) contains records of a 
               third validation study where five of  the original 
               eight male participants inhaled niobium and of 
               studies where two subjects  were injected with 
               Ba133 and Sr85. The files for the niobium study 
               pertain to subjects  such as detector geometry, 
               visits by foreign nationals, personal information 
               on individual subjects, biometric data for the 
               subject, and x-ray counts. Types of documents  
               included are copies of the "Experimental Subject's 
               Bill of Rights," signed consent  forms, photos, 
               tables, graphs, test results, and memorandums. The 
               five British volunteers were also participants in 
               the first study, so some folders for individual 
               subjects  may contain information from both the 
               first and the third validation study. This series  
               also contains subject file information for 
               individual subjects who participate in studies  
               relating to the use of Ba133 and Sr85. Two 
               subjects received an injection of barium, and  one 
               of these subjects later received an additional 
               administration of strontium. Some  personal and 
               medical information is available for subjects 
               involved in these two studies. This series is 
               interfiled with Project Administration records and 
               records of the  other two validation studies.  
 
  RESTRICTIONS  This series contains privacy material.
