The kinetics of Plutonium in the kidneys is modelled by two compartments: One represents the kidney tissue exchanging activity with the blood, and another describing the urinary path through which the Plutonium reaches the urinary bladder. The activity accumulated in the urinary bladder is excreted with the urine. Three paths contribute to the activity in this compartment: The direct transfer from the blood, the blood contribution through the urinary path and the transfer of activity from the soft tissue compartment ST1. The fecal excretion of Plutonium is also modelled. The systemic activity is transferred to the gastrointestinal tract via two pathways: From the first liver compartment to the small intestine (biliary secretion), and from the blood to the upper large intestine. These paths describe the contribution to the fecal excretion of Plutonium at short and long times after exposure. The model is appropriate to simulate the metabolism of Plutonium both in male and female subjects. As mentioned before, gender specific transfer rates are given only for the gonads (testes and ovaries). Age specific transfer rates are defined by ICRP for six age classes: 3 months, 1, 5, 10 and 15 years and adults. Here an adult is a person at least 25 years old, whereas in previous publications of the ICRP concerning the biokinetics of other radionuclides, an adult was defined as at least 20 years old. The 25-rule is also used here for the development of new models, because the skeletal transfer rates are equated with bone formation rates, which are still elevated with respect to the mature skeleton at the beginning of the third decade of life. The transfer rates for an adult subject, useful for the monitoring of an internal contamination from an occupational exposure, are given in Table 1.4.1. soft tissue ST2 soft tissue ST0 soft tissue ST1 gonads liver 2 liver 1 kidney tissue urinary path bladder content urine blood cortical marrow cortical surface cortical volume Figure 1.4.1 The ICRP systemic model for Plutonium biokinetics.
