Radiation Council for individuals not engaged in atomic energy work. However, the recommended acticns to minimize exposure from radionuctiées in focd will be necicd to insure what the Pandanus may be eaten when it becomes evailable and the exposures over longer times such as 30 and 70 years remain within acceptable levels. The calculated figures for accumulated whole body doses are: ADULTS 5 years 30 years 70 years CHILDREN - - 1 rad 1 rad 6 rads 5 rads - 10 rads 10 reds The Federal Radiation Council's radiation protection guide for the whole bod: of the individuals amounts to: Individuals in 2a Population . - 1 year - 0.5 red BOyears - 15 rads 5 years 70 years -" - 2.5 rads 35 rads The general philosophy, based on both experience and research, is that 0.5 red per yeer provides an acceptable level of whole body exposure for individuals. This value may be used where sufficient monitoring is performed so that radiation exposures are known. CMS ee TT pe ‘oe : . aa 1
