# Mr. D. G. Williams-2-October 25, 1971## Participation in Symposium and Transuranium Registry MeetingFive contributed papers and one invited paper by USSR scientists were included on the symposium program and were presented by Drs. Moskalev and Moiseev. These included:1.  Yu. I. Moskalov. Plutonium-239: Problems of Its Biological Effect (Invited).2.  L. A. Buldakov, Z. I. Kalmykova, A. P. Nifatov, V. N. Doshchenko, I. A. Tseveleva, G. S. Mushkacheva, N. P. Kudasheva, V. M. Pesternikov, V. 1. Matveev, A. G. Surina, and V. N. Karpova. Metabolism and Biological Effects of Inhaled 241Am and 239pu in Dogs.3.  N. A.

Buldakov, E. R. Lyubchanskii, and V. M. Pesternikov. As to Biological Effectiveness of Neptunium-237.5.  A. D. Nifotov, T. A Buldakov. and V. I. Matveev. Some Late Effects After a Single Inhalation of 239Pu and 241Am in Dogs.6.  E. P. Ovcharenko. An Experimental Evaluation of the Effects of Transuranic Elements on Reproductive Ability.The two visitors presented the Soviet papers in English (Dr. Moiseev speaks English quite well) and participated in the discussions of other papers. The visitors were already acquainted with many attending the Symposium so informal discussions were very common and apparently productive. Representatives from all major U. S. laboratories working on the transuranium elements and from the Atomic Energy Commission were able to meet with the Soviet visitors. The visitors related current status of their studies on biological effects of plutonium in their formal presentations and in their discussions. Their manuscripts have been received and will be published in the Symposium proceedings. During the week, they met with Dr. R. C. Thompson, Symposium Co-chairman to discuss editing of their manuscripts.## Visit to Life Sciences LaboratoryOn October 1, Drs. Moskalev and Moiseev were escorted to the 331 Building by W. J. Bair. Discussions with the staff occurred during the day in the conference room with visits to various laboratory facilities occurring as necessary.

Mr. D. G. Williams-3-October 25, 1971Dr. J. F. Park - Past, present, and future cxperiments on the biological effects of inhaled plutonium in laboratory animals; therapeutic removal of inhaled plutonium, and USSR recommendations to the ICRP to lower plutonium MPC's were discussed. These Soviet scientists have completed more work on the biological effects of inhaled plutonium in animals than any other research group except our own laboratory. The interchange of experimental methods, results, and concepts was valuable for planning our future research and evaluating the results of past and present research. Since they have reported biological effects of inhaled plutonium in experimental animals at extremely low exposure levels and recommended to the ICRP that limits of exposure should be lowered, the opportunity to understand and evaluate their experimental results, interpretation, and logic in making their recommendations was very useful.Dr. V. H. Smith - Drs. Moiseev and Moskalev were reasonably well acquainted with the field of therapy for plutonium poisoning but not intimately in terms of details or recent Soviet literature; the former because his field was more on the ecological side, and the latter because he has concentrated on radiation effects and ceased active work on removal about ten years ago. Dr. Moskalev was interested in our plans to test phosphorothioic acids as removal agents and mentioned his own work on the removal of 144Ce with DTPA as an example of rhe riming of treatment.. H2 SLALER DTPA was given i.v. to humans in the USSR, not by inhalation, and that Zn-DTPA was not used or being experimented with. The latter is difficult to believe due to his former close relationship with Dr. Catsch. He was not Satisfied with the lack of side effects of multiple DTPA treatments and said that some problems with bone in long-term experiments could be due to DTPA but he wasn't aware of the details. Answers to questiつい about other treatments than DTPA, experience in treating humans, Ci future plans were not obtained because presumably this was not a primary research concern of Dr. Moskalev, although he did state there was considerable research effort in this field.Dr. C. L. Sanders discussed our low-level inhaled 238pu02 studies (life-span), metabolism of plutonium and cellular interaction with Pu02 particles. The Russians were particularly informative in describing their low-level life span studies with 239Fu. It was learned that Dr. Moiseev is primarily a radioecologist who worked in Siberia and is familiar with oil pipe lines and associated ecological problems such as arctic and lake pollution problems.Dr. J. E. Ballou discussed their studies with soluble plutonium compounds, comparative metabolism and effects of DTPA, and our americium, plutonium, and cerium work. Dr. Moskalev had tried inhaled EDTA therapy many years ago to no avail. He was interested in our work with age effects on gut absorption and wanted to know why the very young absorb more plutonium. He agreed there is prolonged gut transit time and different intestinal morphology in3

S. Atomic Energy Commission, Richland, Drs. W. J. Bair and C. L. Sanders. These occasions were enjoyable for the hoses and, apparently, for the visitors. Dr.. Moskalev is an excellent chess player and very patiently played chess with both adults and children. Dr. Moiseev was interested in current fashions and consumer products. Mrs. Bair gave him the current Sears and Roebuck Christmas catalog as an example of consumer products. He was familiar with the mail order concept but we could not determine for certain that it is common in the USSR. Both Drs. Moskalev and Moiseev have dachas near Moscow which indicate they are well up the status lädder in USSR science, but it was also obvious that Dr. Moskalev's dacha is a level above Dr. Moiseev's.The visitors also expressed interest in our standard of living. The visits to our homes seemed to dispel some doubts they might have had about our standard of living. They seemed particularly to enjoy the opportunity to meet our children.## CommentAll those having an opportunity to meet with our Soviet guests were impressed by their congeniality, willingness to discuss their research, interest in our family life, and the spirit of good will

# REPORT ON VISIT OF FOREIGN SCIENTISTS, OCTOBER 4, 1971There were four guests in the group:Dr.(Prof) Yuri I. Moskalev, Inst. of Biophysics, Ministry of Public Health, MoscowDr. Alexei A. Moiseev; Central Inst. for Advanced Medical Studies, MoscowDr. Jean-Claude Nenot; CEA, Centre D'Etudes Nuclaires, Fontenay-aux-Roses, France.Dr. R. Masse,; CEA as above.The four visitors were not traveling together, but by coincidence were participants at the same Transuranium Biology Symposium at Hanford during the week of Sept. 26. They were in San Francisco by chance at the same time and desired to visit Berkeley on the same day.Mrs. Ann Low-Beer picked up the four guests in San Francisco and brought them to the Donner Laboratory where they were greeted by Dr. John Lawrence. Drs. Donald Van Dyke, James MoRae, and Howard Parker took them on a short tour of the Anger camera facility and whole-body counting and scanning equipment. The current uses and potential in medical diagnosis were discussed. Major questions concerned the use of these instruments in monitoring and assessing the extent of persons contaminated with radionuclides in industrial accidents.Lunch was attended by Dr. Hardin Jones, the four guests, Drs. Van Dyke and Parker, and Dr. Patricia Durbin, who acted as hostess and guide through the day. Topics discussed at lunch were centered about the Transuranium symposium. The efficacy of two new techniques to remove lung contamination by-alpha-emitting isotopes was considered. The two techniques are lung lavage and aerosolized cheating agents, particularly DTPA.A tour of Bldg. 74 followed lunch. Three of the visitors are biologists--Drs. Moskalev and Nenot are physicians, and Dr. Masse is a veterinarian and all deal with animal experiments or the interpretation of the results of animal experiments. They were much interested in how one achieved and managed a "biologically clean" rodent colony, in the minimum maintenance rabbit rooms, and the cage-washing facilities. There was some discussion about the 90-Sr-injected monkeys, there exposure levels, years of follow-up, and the essential absence of biological effects at the dose levels in the study.A two-hour general discussion between and among the four guests and Dr. Durbin followed the building tour. The chief topics discussed were how to explain the observed differences in the metabolism of the transuranic elements among species. The usefulness and verifiability of models of human Pu metabolism were considered at great length. New areas of research in internal emitters problems were considered including the influence of age on local dose and ultimate biological end-points; the usefulness of common experiments with various species particularly those with known variations in iron metabolism, bone formation rates and liver function.

# 14-00000Dr. Durbin proposed a collaborative effort with two of Dr. Moskalev's colleagues. They have collected data on human skeleton weights, but now do not have the time or interest to write up their material. Dr. Durbin has collected all of the 19th century and early 20th century human bone weight data and would like to add the modern Russian material to the set. Dr. Moskalev agreed to propose a joint article with his colleagues looking towards publication in an international journal. He surrested that the original data would be forwarded in any case as soon as it could be copied.In the late afternoon the visitors toured (briefly) the Bevatron guided by Ralph Thomas; the californium separation facility guided by Francis McCarty; and the Hi-lac guided by Al Ghiorso. Dr. Moiseev, who is a physicist, was very much intrigued by the proposal to make an advanced scientific instrument by joining the Bevatron and the Hi-lac. Dr, Moskalev was not interested in how the machines worked, "physics was not his field" he said, but asked what he as a biologist might do in the nature of radiobiology experiments with such machines.Dr. Moskalev regretted that it had not been possible to visit with Dr. Tobias. (We could probably have fit in a few minutes or made arrangements for the following day, but I had run them ragged with sight-seeing the day before, Monday was very full, and frankly they were exhausted and needed rest. pwd). They would also have liked to visit the Medical Services group. Mrs. Low-Beer tried to fill them in on the duties and routine of that group.Comments on money, budgets, problems of communication, demands on time, such as committees, etc. ran through all of the conversations. Dr. Nénot and Dr. Moiseev spoke English and understood it well. Dr. Moskalev and Dr. Masse understood more English than they could speak. All four are chiefly occupied with radiation protection and especially with problems raised by internal emitters. Dr. Moskalev is his country's representative on the ICRP internal dose committee. They all forsee the development of nuclear power in their countries at a fast pace. This obviously includes, as they were careful to point out, Pu fast breeders, hence :the overriding interest in Pu and its transplutonium contaminants.The Russian visitors will be guests of the AEC Division of Biology and Medicine in Washington. (I feel certain we will receive good marks as hosts and as scientists. pwd).One further point needs to be added. Although nuclear medicine is not a cuurent specialty in either country, and the use of nuclear medical techniques, especially as diagnostic tools, is very limited, the two physicians indicated thay they personally were much interested, and there was a definite trend in both countries towards more and more use of such tools. "It is coming", they said.![signature]

# 14-00000COUNTRY: USSRSUBJECT: Dr. Y. I. Moskalev, Institute of Biophysics, Hoscow/Professional Interests/Personal Characteristics/Foreign TravelFROM DCS/LSD/SBD 25 N0070DCHI 00-A(S) 322/33488-7013 Νον 701. In September 1970, Dr. Yuri Ivanovich Moskalev visited a US facility devoted to research in the field of nuclear medicine. Dr. Moskalev was born on 23 July 1920 in Igumnobo, USSR, which is near Kalinin. In 1922 his family moved to Leningrad. He has lived in Moscow since 1948. In 1958 he became the head of a division comprised of approximately 30 people at the Institute of Biophysics, Soviet Ministry of Public Health, Moscow. He is the best known investigator of the metabolism and toxicity of radioelements in the Soviet Union and has published a number of papers and reviews on this subject. During his visit, he outlined his as yet unpublished experiment on skin carcinogenesis in rats (dosage administered to the body surface by Sr90 -90 plaques on the sides of the cage) and reported two percent tumors of the skin and some mammary tumors after a 245 rad exposure. It is obvious that he is a careful and trustworthy worker.2. Moskalev is conversant with English but not fluent and has some difficulty in finding the correct English words; however, with a little patience, scientific communication is very satisfactory. Re is genial, frank, and possesses a good sense of humor. He prefers Leningrad to Moscow, considering the former to be a more traditional and cultured city. His chief recreational diversion is his dacha, near Moscow, to which he sometimes, travels by skis in winter (a distance of approximately 20 kilometers).3. Dr. Moskalev has visited the United States on two previous occasions; once attending the Sun Valley Symposium in 1967 and again for the Annual Hanford Biology Symposium in 1969. He has traveled to other places outside the Soviet Union and was present at a meeting sponsored by the IAEA in Vienna in 1964.endalso for Oct. 1963CONFIDENTIAL

Moskalev made an attempt to makesome propaganda of this report by asking in a small group, "Why did youdo this?" almost accusing Spiez of doing it himself.4. Moskalev left the conference a little upset. It was suggested that he   might visit a US laboratory en route home, and considerable time was   expended to arrange this visit. However, he apparently took a different   route and made no effort to tell anyone of his plans, and he did not   visit the laboratory. He took copious notes on all papers, which indicated   he was understanding what was going on. He took many pictures with a 35mm   camera. From the questions he did ask in private, it was obvious that he   understood English well.5. I understand a Polish scientist had been invited to the conference. However,   when his paper was submitted, the reviewer criticized it quite severely and   suggested changes. As a result, the Polish scientist apparently decided not   to attend the conference.6. Three French scientists asked to be invited when the symposium was first   announced. They even gave titles to their papers and the papers were put   on the program. However, they later withdrew and no French scientists   attended the meeting,Headquarters Comment: The analysis of Moskalev's paper in this reportconflicts with the analysis in report 00-B-321/30340-677-end-1234C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L
