toproduce 1.0 rad.
Step 1.

Determine the dose rate on the day of intake of st
to produce 1.0 rad to the thyroid.

D= _R Where:
Ae

D = dose (1.0 rad)

R «= dose rate on initial day

Ae # effective decay constant (radiological
and biological)

1.0 =R

0.09
R © 0.09 rads/day
Step 2.

Determine the number of microcuries of 1131 to produce

0.09 rad/day

X(uc)(2.2 x 10°)(60 x 24)(1.6 x 107°) (0.22) = 0.09

Step 3.

Determine relative doses from I+31 ana yshort
according to Graph miree.!

At 48th hour, the relative contribution to total dose

Therefore, ingestion of 0.4 uc 31 (equivalent) at 48th hour will
produce 1.0 rads to thyroid.
Step 4.

Determine the number of microcuries of fission products

required to yield the required 731 activity.

At 48th

hour, 73+ constitutes about 2.35% of total activity.
Therefore,
