Abstract: Based on different dose coefficients and habit data for 3-month-old infant, 1-year-old infant and fetus/breast-fed infant, doses to these infant age groups from intakes of radionuclides in normal exposure situations are compared and analyzed. The results show that it is appropriate to use the dose coefficients and habit data of 1-year-old infant for evaluation of annual effective doses of <1-year-old infant age groups. Such dose calculation could represent potentially high doses of <1-year-old infant age groups.

Key words: public exposure, infant, dose assessment
