This is consistent and in

Fruit, breadfruit,

‘end of the eighth year.
Summarized in Table 26 are the dietary sources and corresponding
radionuclide concentration decay periods assumed in estimating the
ingestion doses from the two scenarios.
Ingestion dose from birth to. the
fourth year of life is based on the dietary intake of an average child in
the 0 to 4 year range.
In the first scenario, there is no decay
correction applied to the radionuclide concentrations at the time the
diet begins.
However,
in the second scenario, an eight year decay
correction is applied to account for the eight year delay in the
individuals birth since return of the parents to Enjebi (Janet).
