| Summary: | Abstract The activities of the GAPRAD project are summarised in this report. The background and rationale to GAPRAD are presented and explained. Most notably this relates to a lack of information on naturally occuring radionuclides in terrestrial and aquatic systems that have direct applicability for use in envrionmental impact assessments. Results from field activities are presented from the Dovrefjell area in Norway (terrestrial study) and selected lake and brackish water systems in Finland. The data mainly concern activity concterations of Po-210 in environmental media and selected biota allowing concentration ratios to be derived where appropriate. Furthermore, details in relation to Po-210 uptake and biokinetics in humans based on experimental work conducted within the project are presented. Key words Po-210, environmental impact assessment, levels, transfer, concentration ratios, human biokinetics Electronic report, March 2009 GAPRAD Filling knowledge gaps in radiation protection methodologies for non-human biota Final summary report A report for the NKS-B activity October 2008 Edited by Justin Brown and Runhild Gjelsvik Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority, Norway Contributors: Elis Holm, University of Lund, Sweden Per Roos, Risø national laboratory, Denmark Ritva Saxen, Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, Finland Iisa Outola, Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, Finland The GAPRAD Activity was presented at the NKS seminar held at the NRPA 28 to 29 th August 2007. The deliverable report entitled "Knowledge gaps in relation to radionuclide levels and transfer to wild plants and animals, in the context of environmental impact assessements, and a strategy to fill them" was submitted to the NKS in December 2007. A status report summaring the activities in the first 6 months of the GAPRAD project was submitted to the NKS in late October 2007. Studies conducted as part of GAPRAD have been presented at an international Conference held in Bergen in 2008 (see The method applied for the deliverable ... |
