Estimation of radiation dose from ingested tritium in humans by administration of deuterium-labelled compounds and food

Abstract Radiation doses from organically bound tritium (OBT) in foods have been a major concern near nuclear facilities. The current dose coefficient for OBT is calculated using a standard model from the International Commission on Radiological Protection, in which some biokinetic values are not ba...
