Opportunities for Improvement in FRMAC's Assessment Method for Ingestion of Contaminated Crops
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This report provides recommendations to improve the assessment method of the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) for the ingestion of crops contaminated with radionuclides. The current FRMAC method of calculating investigation levels (ILs) and crop derived response levels (DRLs) is detailed. Recommended modifications to these calculations are presented based on the following aspects: handling radionuclide mixtures, no immediate equilibrium, washing of contaminated crops, and updated dietary intake rates.
