ABSTRACT
Formation of a three-component urinary excretion function using the data of
occupational exposure cases is described. Measurement results of plutonium
inhalation from two subjects over 6000 and 2500 d are used in the derivation of this function. The three-component excretion function obtained is
U(t) = 0.0008e2-0.0566(t) +
0.00009e-20.0042(t) + 0.00004e-20.00008(t). The function is therefore proposed as a reliable basis to make an uptake assessment for
operational control for mixed class of plutonium dominated by M-class chronic exposure.
