Children are at particular risk because of their longer life expectancy, more active cell division, and higher organ doses at a lower body mass (Chong et al., 2010).
It also incorporates recent developments in decontamination methods and the decorporation of radionuclides in contaminated people; and draws from publications of the International Commission on Radiological Protection for data and biokinetic and dosimetric models of organ doses, total-body and organ retention values, and excretion rates of radionuclides.
