Radioactivity in Wool [PDF]

Nature, 1960
WITH the development of highly sensitive γ-ray detectors, it has become possible to carry out nondestructive measurements of the low levels of γ-ray activity emitted by various biological materials. Since γ-ray measurements may be made rapidly without any special preparation or modification of the material measured, the application of this technique to
