Comparison of dosimetric modeling of the International Commission on Radiological Protection trout reference animal

Creator:: Comolli, Michelle LeAnne
Abstract:: Radiation protection has historically been from a human protection approach, therefore many studies have neglected the potential dose contribution from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in animal studies. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) utilized simplified geometric shapes with Dose Conversion Factors (DCF) based on homogenized models for the trout...

Dose-effects relationships in non-human biota : development of field sampling, dosimetric and analytic techniques through a case study of the aquatic snail Campeloma decisum at Chalk River Laboratories

Creator:: Ruedig, Elizabeth B.
Abstract:: In the last decade regulatory bodies have begun to implement standards to protect populations of non-human biota (NHB) from the consequences of radiation exposure. This is a departure from previous regulatory frameworks which were concerned only with protecting man. The implementation of these new standards has started an ongoing discussion...

Use of GIS software to map contaminant distributions and determine integrated dose for purposes of assessing impact to biota

Creator:: Myers, Margaret C.
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to estimate the radiological impact on various non-human biotas by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear power plant radiation release resulting from Japan's tsunami in March 2011 consistent with the recent recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. Soil concentration data given by Japan's Ministry...

Development and Application of Voxelized Dosimetric Models for Biota : Characterization of the Uncertainty in the International Commission on Radiological Protection's Wildlife Dosimetry System

Creator:: Caffrey, Emily Amanda
Abstract:: A system for radiological dosimetry for nonhuman biota developed by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) relies on calculations that utilize the Monte Carlo simulations of simple, ellipsoidal geometries with internal radioactivity distributed homogeneously throughout. In this manner it is quick and easy to estimate whole-body dose rates to biota....

Establishment of concentration ratios for riparian and shrub steppe areas of the eastern Washington Columbia basin

Creator:: Napier, Jonathan Bamberger
Abstract:: Concentration ratios are used to determine the transfer of nuclides from soil to biota to fauna. Some nuclides have limited associated data though, this has not prevented predictions from being performed at sites without associated data. These ratios are site specific and are not fully applicable when applied to other...

Improvements in the dosimetric models of selected benthic organisms

Creator:: Caffrey, Emily Amanda
Abstract:: The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animal and plant (RAP) species using simple geometric shapes in Monte–Carlo (MCNP) based simulations. The focus has now shifted to creating voxel phantoms of each RAP to advance the understanding of radiation interactions in nonhuman biota. The work contained...

Determining the bioavailability of soil-associated radium using in vitro methodology

Creator:: Tack, Krystina M.
Abstract:: Soil that is contaminated with radioactive elements poses an exposure hazard to those whom may take up temporary or permanent residence on such a site. Of particular interest is the internal exposure from ingestion of this radioactive soil. Although most ingestion of soil is inadvertent, usually being attached to foodstuffs...

An analysis of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program sampling results from the Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, dairy herd milk, post-Fukushima

Creator:: Treinen, Richard M.
Abstract:: This study focuses on iodine-131 detected in milk samples from the Dairy Science Unit at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, California following events at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in March of 2011. The samples were collected as part of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCPP) Radiological Environmental...

Post-accident radiocesium uptake in eastern Oregon wheat crops : A preliminary estimate using a modified "PATHWAY" model

Creator:: Palotay, Joshua A.
Abstract:: An experimental environmental uptake model was developed for the purpose of estimating the final harvest concentration of contaminant following an acute accidental release of radiocesium onto an eastern Oregon winter wheat crop. The system was developed using the PATHWAY environmental uptake model as presented by Whicker and Kirchner (1987) for...

Comparison of total dose to individuals from temperate and arid environments

Creator:: Elmore, Brockway F., II
Abstract:: This paper analyzes the decision-making process utilized in temperate environments for building nuclear facilities and whether it was going to be applicable to nuclear facilities built in arid environments. To answer this question, the total dose to individuals from arid and temperate environments were compared using RESRAD-OFFSITE and changing the...
