DISCUSSION

Few,

if any,

of these results represent actual population exposures.

They are the maximum tritium results obtained from the

various events

and are an indication of the upper level of potential exposures.

The radiation protection guides from

AEC-MC 0524 for ancividuass
individuals in

the population are:
