• Issues concerning the measurement of Radioadaptation of small mammals in the East Urals radioactive trace  - Elena Grigorkina

Tuesday 5th February 2013

• Radiobiological evidences for effects of chronic low doses on wildlife, with a particular focus on field data – Almudena Real
• Application of screening values – Jacqueline Garnier Laplace
• Uncertainties in measurement of radiation doses to biota in the field – Jordi Vives i Batlle
• Comparison between data from lab and field - Dave Spurgeon

Presentations were followed by breakout groups to discuss key uncertainties and what are the key research priorities. (Chairs : Paul Whitehouse – EA & Claus Svendsen – CEH)
