Abstract

The internal dose due to 3H is generally estimated by the measurement of average 3H concentration in urine. The concentration in urine, however, depends very much on the effective half-life which in turn varies from season to season and from person to person. This means that the annual limit of intake (ALI) would also vary. The latest recommendations of International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) suggest that internal dose be controlled as fractions of ALI. This paper suggests a method for determining intake as a fraction of the ALI by measuring 3H concentrations in urine and inter alia taking into account the variations of effective half-life in individuals.
