(8) is essentially the ratio of absorbed doses in
graphite and in air calculated from the electron-fluence spectrum in the
cavity. Comparing equivalent total absorbed doses, those delivered more
slowly appear more dangerous. Furthermore, even at these
levels, the doses may not have been as high as administered because
probably not all the ATR ingested would have been absorbed; a portion of
it could have been easily eliminated through the feces, suggesting that
lower actually absorbed doses could underlie the deleterious effects
observed in this study. |
