Description

This paper reports that within the framework of safety considerations for the Next European Torus (NET), a report has been compiled to review current knowledge of the behavior of tritium in biological systems. Furthermore, a range of models for dose calculation are evaluated with respect to the methods and assumptions used in estimating the dose relating from tritium uptake due to the ingestion pathway
