Modelling Of 137Cs Behaviour In Forest Game Food Chains

  • Chapter
Contaminated Forests

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASEN2,volume 58))

Abstract

After the Chernobyl accident it became clear that radioactive contaminated forests can give doses to the population comparable to the doses from radioactive contaminated agroecosystems. Mathematical models of the migration of radionuclides in forest ecosystems are used to evaluate the consequences of the forest contamination and the effectiveness of potential countermeasures.
