Beehive model creation for use in determining radiation dose to beeswax and bee larvae

Creator:

Jia, Junwei

Abstract:

Honeybees and honey combs are good indicators of environmental contamination and can be important for dose calculations. In the event of reactor accidents and nuclear weapon testing, the released radioactive materials are likely to be transported through various environmental pathways as well as by humans and animals, including bees. Due...

. Title: Beehive Model Creation for Use in Determining Radiation Dose to Beeswax and Bee Larvae
A comparison of deterministic and probabilistic radiation dose assessments at three fictitious ¹³⁷Cs contaminated sites in California, Colorado, and Florida

Creator:

Brock, Terry A.

Abstract:

Two methods of radiation dose assessment were evaluated for the Cs-137 in soil ⇒ leafy vegetable ⇒ human consumption exposure pathway at three fictitious contaminated sites in California, Colorado, and Florida. An annual dose equation was developed and per USEPA risk assessment guidelines, traditional, single point annual dose estimates were...
