To determine the effects of inhaled144Ce, 126 Beagle dogs (including 15 controls) were exposed to aerosols of either144Ce in fused clay or stable cerium in fused clay. To date, 15 dogs have died 143–410 days after inhalation exposure from radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis. Primary pulmonary neoplasms caused the deaths of 5 dogs 750–1318 days after inhalation exposure. Calculated pulmonary radiation doses until death ranged from 23,000–48,000 rads. Pulmonary hemangiosarcomas were found in all 5 dogs and metastasis in 4. In addition, 1 dog had a pulmonary fibrosarcoma and another had a bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, both of which metastasized to the tracheobronchial lymph nodes. Only 3 dogs with similar initial lung burdens of144Ce died without pulmonary neoplasms, at 186, 193, and 410 days after inhalation exposure. The 91 dogs exposed to144Ce-fused clay and all controls have survived 239–1565 days after inhalation exposure including 44 surviving >750 days, with pulmonary radiation doses from 2–36,000 rads.
