Abstract:
We present a new methodology for the impact assessment of radionuclides and chemical contaminants in non-human biota. The core of the approach is a population model combining the action of pollutants with ecological factors for a given species. The impact of mixed stressors is predicted in terms of mortality, morbidity, and reproduction ability of the population, based on the analysis of damages to fecundity and self-repairing ability. This model is designed with regulatory application in mind, to evaluate the robustness of the benchmarks used in wildlife radiological assessment for “mixed stressor” situations. This is a concern for both regulators and the industry, particularly in NORM sites. The presentation will introduce the model design, an example of application, the model uncertainties and its intended application to sites containing NORM contamination.
