An IAEA handbook presenting transfer parameter values for wildlife has recently been
produced. Concentration ratios (CRwo-media) between the whole organism (fresh weight) …

The ERICA Tool is a computerised, flexible software system that has a structure based upon
the ERICA Integrated Assessment tiered approach to assessing the radiological risk to biota …

Environmental monitoring programs often measure contaminant concentrations in animal
tissues consumed by humans (eg, muscle). By comparison, demonstration of the protection …

An ability to predict radionuclide activity concentrations in biota is a requirement of any
method assessing the exposure of biota to ionising radiation. Within the ERICA Tool fresh …

The process of assessing risk to the environment following a given release of radioactivity
requires the quantification of activity concentrations in environmental media and reference …

A key element of most systems for assessing the impact of radionuclides on the environment
is a means to estimate the transfer of radionuclides to organisms. To facilitate this, an …

The outcome of the PROTECT project (Protection of the Environment from Ionising Radiation
in a Regulatory Context) is summarised, focusing on the protection goal and derivation of …

A number of models have recently been, or are currently being, developed to enable the
assessment of radiation doses from ionising radiation to non-human species. A key …

Over the last decade a number of models and approaches have been developed for the
estimation of the exposure of non-human biota to ionising radiations. In some countries …

There is now general acknowledgement that there is a requirement to demonstrate that
species other than humans are protected from anthropogenic releases of radioactivity. A …
