The eetimated mean body burden at equilibrium for cesium? >? 1s about 1.5
microcuriea or about 1/6 of the tolerance recommended by the International
Commission for Radiological Protection for non-industrial populations.
For
strouviua’? the mean body burden of the exposed Rongelap group in March 1958 was
eatin .icd to be two millimicrocuries.
This is about nine percent of the expected
equilit:ium value of 23 millinicrocuries.
{s about 1/5 of tolerance.
