Abstract:=20
TD3: An uranium-bearing tea set is taken as the example to explain the =
radiation exposure of the population through external or internal =
irradiation as a consequence of daily use of household pottery. The =
experiments reported determine the amount of uranium dissolved in the =
tea, or tea plus lemon juice, by various methods. The lemon juice is =
shown to increase the uranium leaching rate. Dose measurements at the =
pottery surfaces allow the calculation of external radiation doses to =
lips or hands. The uranium content of the tea set used for the study is =
high, and the resulting radiation doses exceed the limits set by the =
Radiation Protection Ordinance. (PW). (Copyright (c) 1987 by FIZ. =
