“…Gillett et al (2001) applied it to spatial predictions for England and Wales. Cox et al (2005) used the model within an approach for the optimisation of long-term countermeasure management. Simon et al (2002) found that the model was not applicable to the carbonate soils of the Marshall Island atolls and their vegetation, indicating that the model cannot necessarily be applied outside the range of conditions for which it was developed.…”

“…A more user-friendly version of the DSS is being developed for operational use in Norway. To demonstrate the implementation of the DSS, two case study scenarios based on hypothetical accidents in the UK and Spain were conducted (Cox et al, , 2005. In both scenarios, the model 'successfully' identified strategies that were much more cost effective than simply restricting the entry of food into the food chain; reductions in dose were similar.…”

The STRATEGY project (Sustainable Restoration and Long-Term Management of Contaminated Rural, Urban and Industrial Ecosystems) aimed to provide a holistic decision framework for the selection of optimal restoration strategies for the long-term sustainable were identified. The importance of stakeholder consultation at a local level and of ensuring that any response is site and scenario specific were emphasised. A value matrix approach was suggested as a method of addressing social and ethical issues within the decision-making process, and was designed to be compatible with both the countermeasure compendia and the decision support system. The applicability and usefulness of STRATEGY outputs for food production systems in the medium to long term is assessed.

It is important to assess the exposure from diets and the effectiveness of regulatory measures toward the establishment of regulatory values under the assumption of a virtual accident as a part of emergency preparedness [8]. …”

Evaluation of radiation exposure from diet is necessary under the assumption of a virtual accident as a part of emergency preparedness. Here, we developed a model with complete consideration of the regional food trade using deposition data simulated by a transport model, and estimated the dietary intake of radionuclides and the effectiveness of regulation (e.g., restrictions on the distribution of foods) after the Fukushima accident and in virtual accident scenarios. We also evaluated the dilution factors (i.e., ratios of contaminated foods to consumed foods) and cost-effectiveness of regulation as basic information for setting regulatory values. The doses estimated under actual emission conditions were generally consistent with those observed in food-duplicate and market-basket surveys within a factor of three. Regulation of restricted food distribution resulted in reductions in the doses of 54–65% in the nearest large city to the nuclear power plant. The dilution factors under actual emission conditions were 4.4% for radioiodine and 2.7% for radiocesium, which are ~20 times lower than those used in the Japanese provisional regulation values after the Fukushima accident. Strict regulation worsened the cost-effectiveness for both radionuclides. This study highlights the significance and utility of the developed model for a risk analysis of emergency preparedness and regulation.
