Compilation of poultry and egg parameters for the PATHWAY code
Abstract
The PATHWAY computer code was developed as a part of the foodchain pathway analysis task. The objective was to estimate radionuclide ingestion rates of residents of Lincoln (Nevada), Washington (Utah), and Iron (Utah) counties during the period 1951-1962, which resulted from explosion of nuclear devices at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). Estimation of radionuclide ingestion rates involves determination of radionuclide concentrations in dietary items as a function of time and geographic area, and consumption rates of such items as a function of age and lifestyle. Poultry and eggs may have been relatively significant dose contributors to humans, because of the fairly large consumption rates of these products, and because of potential radionuclide concentration in them. This paper describes nuclide-dependent and nuclide-independent parameters related to poultry products, and the determination of specific values of these parameters. 17 figs., 10 tabs.
