Balance of Cesium 137 and Potassium, and Whole-Body Levels in Young Male Subjects

GERALD M. WARD B.S., M.S., PH.D.1 and JAMES E. JOHNSON B.S., M.S., PH.D.1

1 From the Department of Animal Science, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado

Normal young male subjects 18-21 years of age were divided into two groups. One group consisting of eight men received a ration which averaged 123 pc of 137Cs and 2.7 g of potassium per day during a 34-day experimental period. The second group consisting of four men received a ration which averaged 279 pc of 137Cs and 5.9 g of potassium per day. The higher intake resulted in significant positive balances for both elements. The lower levels produced essentially zero balances. The higher 137CS intake resulted in significant increase in the whole body level of 137Cs (17.8-29.3), but the increase was not entirely proportional to differences in dietary intake. The Cs-to-K ratio was similar for the two diets and also for both urine and feces ranging from 30 to 50 pc 137Cs/g K.
