The project
therefore aims to collate information relating to the environmental transfer and fate
of selected radionuclides through aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in the Arctic; (ii)
identify reference Arctic biota that can be used to evaluate potential dose rates to biota
in different terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments; (iii) model the uptake of a
suite of radionuclides to reference Arctic biota; (iv) development of a reference set of
dose models for reference Arctic biota; (v) compilation of data on dose-effects
relationships and assessments of potential radiological consequences for reference
Arctic biota; (vi) and integration of assessments of the environmental impact from
radioactive contamination with those for other contaminants.
