| Abstract: | A method is described that allows rapid and easy calculation of collective dose. Doses for inhalation of 131I and its ingestion with milk for the Windscale accident of 1957 are calculated as an example. They show good agreement with values obtained in a more detailed analysis. The method should provide reliable estimates when activity is evenly dispersed or when population and land use are fairly evenly distributed. In other circumstances, useful upper and lower limits of collective dose can be readily estimated. |
