title: Validation of a metabolic model for tritium.
abstract: The purpose of this paper is to validate a metabolic model describing the kinetics of tritium in man. The validation is based on measurements of background levels of loose and bound tritium in Italian subjects and their diets. Model predictions are compared with empirical measurements of tritium in human urine and tissue samples, and appear to be in close agreement.
