Abstrakt: Some aspects of the application of simulation modeling of radionuclide behavior in food chains of land ecosystems are discussed. A model of behavior of 137Cs in the soil–vegetation–herbivores–predators system is described. The results of modeling, including the calculation of the dynamics of the dose load on animals, are presented. It is shown that according to the simplified Chernobyl scenario of the radiological situation, dose loads on herbivores are significantly lower than on predators. In general, the main contribution to the dose load in animals during the first ten years is made by external irradiation. Then, the external and internal dose loads become approximately equal.
