Abstract

The sources, quality, and completeness of data underlying the biokinetic models of the International Commission on Radiological Protection are discussed and the associated uncertainties in those models as dosimetric tools examined. After a general discussion of the relative merits of different sources of biokinetic data, the data base and associated model uncertainties are evaluated for nine environmentally important radionuclides representing various levels of knowledge of biokinetics in humans: 3 H, 60 Co, 90 Sr, 95 Zr, 106 Ru, 125 Sb, 137 Cs, 226 Ra, and 239 Pu, Attention is focused mainly on the behaviour of radionuclides after their absorption to blood.
