Intake 01
Intake 01 : (1) The act or process of taking radionuclides into the body by inhalation or ingestion or through the skin. (2) The activity of a radionuclide taken into the body in a given time period or as a result of a given event. Acute Intake: An intake occurring within a time period short enough that it can be treated as instantaneous for the purposes of assessing the resulting committed dose. The exposure that results from an acute intake is not necessarily acute exposure. For a long-lived radionuclide that is retained in the body, an acute intake will result in chronic exposure. Chronic Intake: An intake over an extended period of time, such that it cannot be treated as a single instantaneous intake for the purposes of assessing the resulting committed dose. Chronic intake may, however, be treated as a series of acute intakes
