Abstract: Due to the lack of the infant diet near nuclear power plant, the evaluation of radiation effects on infants caused by radioactive effluents from nuclear power plant is incomplete. With references to IAEA No.19 Report and ICRP Publication 95, the infant dose from ingestion of mother's milk was calculated in this paper. A generic infant solid food feeding diet was also provided. The result showed that the method of dose calculation in IAEA No.19 Report was less conservative and the calculated dose value was smaller, while the method in ICRP Publication 95 was more feasible and reasonable.

Key words: nuclear power plant, infant ingestion dose, infant diet
