Errata to: Doses to infants from ingestion of radionuclides in mothers’ milk

The review of available data on the transfer of technetium (Tc) in breast milk given in Section 5.18 of Publication 95 concludes that insufficient information is available to derive a compartmental model for Tc in breast milk, and therefore a simple assumption is adopted, namely that 10% of the activity reaching maternal blood is transferred to the infant in breast milk. However, this assumption was not correctly implemented in the Tables of fractional transfer (Table 5.18.1) and dose coefficients (Tables 5.18.2, public; A.18, worker) for the single radioisotope of technetium considered, i.e. Tc. Corrected versions of these Tables are given below.
