A free-atmosphere release system was designed to expose an experimental area continuously to tritiated hydrogen (HT) over periods of days to weeks. The system was constructed of four 19-m-long line sources arranged in a square to fumigate the central

Protection of non-human biota from radionuclides in the environment is an important aspect of many environmental assessments. Biosphere transport models can be used to estimate radionuclide concentrations in plants and animals, and the radiological d

A small experimental plot was continuously exposed to elevated levels of HT in air over a 12-day period to study the build up and steady-state concentrations of HTO in the environment. HTO concentrations in soil, vegetation and air all showed similar

Trace amounts of tritiated hydrogen (HT) were released continuously to the atmosphere at Chalk River Laboratories over the 12-day period 1994 July 27 to August 8. Scientists from eight institutions in four countries took extensive air, soil and veget

A concept for disposal of immobilized nuclear fuel waste in a vault mined deep in stable plutonic rock of the Canadian Shield is being investigated in Canada. Far in the future, when man-made and natural protective barriers lose their integrity, radi

The biosphere model, BIOTRAC, for predicting long term nuclide concentrations and radiological doses from Canada's nuclear fuel waste disposal concept of a vault deep in plutonic rock of the Canadian Shield is presented. This generic, boreal zone bio

The Field-Irradiator Gamma (FIG) experiment chronically irradiated a section of the Canadian boreal forest over a period of 14 years. Forest trees were affected at dose rates > 0.1 gGy·h −1 , but a herbaceous plant community thrived at dose rates

Carbon-14 stands apart from most of the radionuclides present in nuclear fuel waste for several reasons. It has a relatively long radiological half-life and low retardation by granitic geological media so that 14C is superceded only by 36 Cl and 129

A method to evaluate the potential of radionuclide releases to harm the environment is presented. The method employs four steps. First, humans are used as an indicator species because of their known radiosensitivity and because assessment methodology

Protection of the environment is a key issue in the disposal of long-lived radioactive wastes. To assess the implications of underground disposal, transport models are commonly used to predict radionuclide concentrations in soil and water. However, a
