I have been asked to tackle the problem of I-131 in the 
excrements of patients who are taking it for therapeutic reasons. 
I know that most of the stuff stays inside the patient anyway
but I need some references or direction to any currently accepted solutions. 
Are there any recommendations from ICRP or NCRP?
     
     
Thanks to everyone
