Handbook of Parameter Values for the Prediction of Radionuclide Transfer in Temperate Environments

This handbook has been produced in collaboration with the International Union of Radioecologists. It should serve as a convenient and authoritative reference for radionuclide transfer parameter values used in biospheric assessment models. It supplements Safety Series No. 57 (1982), ''Generic Models and Parameters for Assessing the Environmental Transfer of Radio- nuclides from Routine Releases''. Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Agricultural systems - vegetation; 3. Agricultural systems - milk, meat and eggs; 4. Freshwater ecosystems - fish; 5. Natural ecosystems; 6. Food processing transfer parameters.
