Abstract

The results of this study in hamsters indicate that the ingestion of very small quantities of plutonium in drinking water will not lead to levels of absorption above the value of 0.01% adopted by the ICRP for soluble forms of plutonium (ICRP79). The values of 0.001-0.003% absorption obtained for plutonium in drinking water at a concentration of about 1.5x10^-13 g ml^-1 showed that neither the presence of Pu(VI) nor the low concentration resulted in enhancement uptake.
