shooting 24p under 50hz and 60hz fluorescents

Folks,
I'm planning to do a shoot at 24p, and my main concern has to do with fluorescent light flicker - how to choose the right shutter speed to void flicker?

I will be shooting in two locations for this project - one in a 50hz country, the other a 60Hz country, and mixing both footage in post.

With my old PD170, I shot in NTSC (29.97) in 50Hz countries by shooting in 1/100, and this worked somewhat, but I am unsure what the approach will be with a DSLR shooting 24P. Anyone got a suggestion how to approach it? I'm no newbie at video, but this is my first try at 24p.

Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt reply, Barry. Kinda makes me feel sheepish at how obvious the answer really is!
