*’ It is assumed that the daily diet remains constant, but that the radionuclides in it
decay spontaneously. The table provides dose factors in rem/picocuries/day. It is based
on NRPB (1987) which provides factors in Sv/Bq (= 3.8 x rem/picocurie), anid is cnsistent
with ICRP reccemendations (ICRP 1986, 1987). These factors allow for the fraction of
radionuclide absorbed from the gut, its distribution and residence time in the body, the
absorption and effectiveness of its radiation in the body, and its rate of physical decay.
b

Committed effective dose equivalent (whole-body dose).

equivalents (tissue dose).

Other doses are committed dose

The C.E.D.E. is the sum of the dose equivalents to 1] tissues

of the body of a standard man, each weighted by the risk of cancer resulting from a unit
dose to that tissue as compared to the risk from a unit dose to the whole body.
