Abstract
Tokyo Electric Power Company, TEPCO, has started tritiated water release into the Pacific Ocean. In order to reduce unreasonable rumor caused by tritium release, flounder, abalone, and sarggasum were exposed to tritium enriched seawater, and time dependent Tissues Free Water Tritium (TFWT) concentration was measured. Estimating the concentration of Organically Bound Tritium (OBT) is important to assess tritium impact because it has a longer biological half-life than TFWT. Current models estimate OBT concentrations using TFWT concentration. Understanding equilibration time is critical for making accurate TFWT concentration predictions. TFWT intake rate was analysed by the compartment model.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
