Syrian hamsters, Fischer rats and Beagle dogs inhaled monodisperse aerosols of PuO2 and were sacrificed during the first 16 days after exposure. The microscopic distribution of radiation dose and tissue-at-risk to alpha irradiation around individual particles in lung was studied using autoradiographs of lung tissue sections. The dose distributions in dogs and rats were more diffuse than in hamsters. A slightly greater tumor incidence was calculated for rats and dogs than for hamsters on the basis of dose distribution using the same dose-effect model for all three species. The small differences in tumor incidence predicted on this basis do not explain the extremely large differences in tumor incidences observed in these species after inhalation of PuO2.
