Step 2.

Determine the number of microcuries of y131 to produce

Step 3.

Determine relative doses from 7131 ang yehort

At 48th hour, the relative contribution te total dose

Therefore, ingestion of 0.4 pe 3+ (equivalent) at 48th hour will
produce 1.0 rads to thyroid.

Step 4.

Determine the number of microcuriesaf fission producte
