Description

A Task Group of the ICRP is currently reviewing the model to be used for the respiratory tract. The choice of the model will not only change the dosimetry, but will also have consequences for the whole body burden as a function of time following an internal contamination. Therefore the data for the evaluation of the intake derived from the measurement of the body burdens must be recalculated, to be included in the new release of our compilation. Examples of the results of two models are given for the inhalation of 60Co and compared to the current model and to measured data. (author)
