Evaluating the Reliability of Biokinetic and Dosimetric Models and Parameters Used to Assess Individual Doses for Risk Assessment Purposes-88786D26

Commentary No. 15 (1998) addresses in considerable detail the uncertainties associated with models used in radiation protection for: (1) the gastrointestinal tract, (2) the respiratory tract, (3) the skin, (4) internal biokinetics, (5) dosimetry of internally deposited radionuclides, and (6) estimation of radiation doses attributable to radionuclides in the environment. Sections on the reliability of dose coefficients for estimation of individual risk and a summary are also included.
