Radiation Council for individuals not engegedin atomic energy work. However, the recommended actions to minimize exposure from radionuclides in food will be needed to insure that the Pandanus may be eaten when it becomes available and that 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 rads The Federal Radiation Council's radiation protection guide for the whole body of the individuals amounts to: Individuals in a Population lyear . - - 0.5 rad B30 years -70 years - 15 rads 35 rads S years -° 2.5 rads The general philosophy, based on both experience and research, is that 0.5 rad per year provides an acceptable level of whole pody exposure for individuals. This value may be used where sufficient monitoring is performed so that radiation exposures are known. So ~~ F336 3765. f 037 A 5
