FRAMEWORK FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT FROM IONISING RADIATION

摘要

A framework is proposed for the protection of the environment from ionising radiation. Key components include the assessment of the environmental transfer of radionuclides and uptake of radionuclides by organisms, the adaptation of existing dosimetric models to calculate absorbed doses and studies concerning dose-effects relationships for selected organisms. The proposed framework will also make use of 'reference' organisms, selection of which will be based on a number of criteria, e. g. radiosensitivity, ubiquity, and will involve the development of standardised biota exposure units which might integrate the Relative.
