From body burden to effective dose equivalent. Part 2

A compact set of data is presented for the evaluation of measurements performed with a whole body counter. For each nuclide the following information is collected: physical halflife; metabolic data; the relation between chemical compound and inhalation class; the fraction of intake in the human body at 18 points in time after a single intake; the relation between intake and effective committed dose equivalent; the equilibrium body burden following continuous intake; the relation between a constant body burden and dose-equivalent rate. This report is an extension of an earlier paper (ECN-116). It completes the list of nuclides, i.e. apart from noble gas nuclides almost all nuclides with a physical halflife exceeding 12 hours have been considered, either in this paper or in part I. (Auth.)
