Abstract

Abstract: This work presents an alternate analysis of an in vitro solubility study on the lung dissolution rate of 238 PuO2 material involved in a recent inhalation incident at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The original dataset used in this work was retrieved from a recently published report. The present work shows an analysis of the same dataset by modeling the dissolution in separate time intervals rather than modeling the cumulative dissolution.
