The solution of the integral yields a general expression that depends on
the user defining t.

For example, if t is the fixed uptake interval, T, plus an

additional fixed post uptake interval, @, then the body burden at T + 9% is

As previously stated, Eq. (2) appifed at Rongelap and Utirik, it was
for the situation that variable time t was the uptake interval.

Additionally,

persons who returned to the atolls in June 1954 and June 1957 did so with an initial body burden, q°.

The behavior of this contribution to body burden,

q, was embodied in the q° term of Eq. (2).

A similar model was used to relate
