Acute and chronic intakes of fallout radionuclides @ S. L. SIMoNn ET AL.

Table 17. Comparison of estimates of absorbed dose to the thyroid from the Bravotest (acute intake) from this
work and from Lessard et al. (1985) and Goetz et al. (1987); all entries are in mGy andrepresent the average for
male and female adults (except Rongerik which pertains to adult males only), rounded to two significant digits
(entries with dash were not estimated).
