Abstract
The scope, philosophy and principle conclusions of ICRP Publication 48 on the metabolism of plutonium and related elements are reviewed with special emphasis on the changes proposed for the fractional absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and for tissue deposition and retention parameters. The impact of the proposed changes on radiation protection practice are discussed and the need to seize every ethical opportunity to obtain human data is emphasised.
