Question:
I have a problem about putting data into the ERICA Tool - I have many data forcesium-137 concentrations in water and fish from1962-2006 but I cannot put all data in ERICA Tool. Now I can input one data point from one year to calculate the absorbed dose rate. Please advise me about how to input such data into Tier 2 of the ERICA Tool.

Answer:

_Currently, you cannot input time series data, or data for more than one location, into the ERICA Tool to model in a single run. This functionality is something which has been requested previously by users and it MAY be provided in future Tool versions.

How you can best proceed depnds upon what you want to do to some extent. Here are two suggestions:

1. As you are only considering Cs-137 you could extract the DCC values and if required Kd and CR values from the Tool and use them in an Excel spreadsheet.
2. If you have multiple entries for a single year you could use Tier 3 to input mean values with an associated pdf._
