Introduction
...
These pages contain information on and links to:
- Freely available Radiological environmental assessment tools
- Databases on the transfer of radionuclides to wildlife and the effects of ionising radiation on wildlife
- Summaries and outputs of various relevant EC EURATOM projects
- Various national initiatives
- Relevant activities of international organistations such as the IAEA, ICRP, UNSCEAR, IUR, WNA and NEA-OECD
The development of assessment approaches for application in environmental radiological assessements has been moderately rapid over the last decade
...
(2000-2010).
...
As

a

consequence
...
comparatively

recent

outputs

have

been

superseded.

Whilst

these

are

available

their

replacements

should

be

used

by

However,

we

recognise
...
that
...
it

may
...
not

be

obvious

to

all

users

which

approaches

have

been

superseded,

here

are

Assessors should NOT use these superseded approaches unless they can thoroughly justify their application (e.g.
...
the
...
use
...
of
...
the
...
...
...
model
...
would
...
be
...
justified
...
for
...
releases
...
of
...
noble
...
gases
...
to
...
the
...
atmosphere
...
as
...
this
...
is
...
the
...
only
...
approach
...
to
...
consider
...
these
...
radionuclides).
