Alternate Analysis of an In Vitro Solubility Study on the Lung Dissolution Rate of 238PuO2 Material Involved in the 2020 Incident at Los Alamos National Laboratory

Abstract This work presents an alternate analysis of an in vitro solubility study on the lung dissolution rate of 238PuO2 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.
