Description

Radiation protection and environmental effect caused by medicine containing 131I elaborated in the ICRP Publication 94 were introduced. Domestic standard rules and some problems on wastewater discharge were compared. Methods of measuring radioactivity of 131I in wastewater were discussed, and the size of decay pool required to achieve discharge standards was calculated. Some advices for discharge management of wastewater containing 131I were proposed. (authors)
