We will never have data to populate all of the potential radioecological modelling
parameters required for wildlife assessments. Therefore, we need robust extrapolation …

A more complete record is emerging of radionuclide measurements in fish tissue, sediment,
and seawater samples from near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) and …

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 …

Determination of radionuclide concentration factor (CF) allows estimating the transfer of
environmental radionuclides and potential risks of consuming fish contaminated with …

Although more than 30 years have passed since the Chernobyl accident, artificial
