The spproximate instantaneous dose equivalent rates for the total body
were determined from the body, burden data illustrated in Figures 7, and 8 and

The approximate nature of the estimate was due to the assumption that the
radioactive atoms were distributed among the body tissues as they would be following constant continuous uptake for periods of time much greater than the mean
residence time for the total body.

In the case of 90, 86% of equilibrium was

These assumptions were not used in the estimate of the total dose

equivalent.

In addition, since mean adult body burdens were computed, a factor

of 1.2 was needed to adjust for differences in body mass relative to a 70 kilu~
gram adult,

Table 5 lists values of I which were determined from information

given in ICRP59 and corrected for body mass differences.
