“…Those four values which were over-predicted by more than an order of magnitude were all from studies using intravenous administration or radiostronitum. The reported half-lives (see DiGregorio et al, 1978) were comparatively short compared to the two studies reporting Sr T 1/2B values following oral administration and also data from farm animal studies (Fesenko et al, 2015).…”

We will never have data to populate all of the potential radioecological modelling parameters required for wildlife assessments. Therefore, we need robust extrapolation approaches which allow us to make best use of our available knowledge. This paper reviews and, in some cases, develops, tests and validates some of the suggested extrapolation approaches. The concentration ratio (CRproduct-diet or CRwo-diet) is shown to be a generic (trans-species) parameter which should enable the more abundant data for farm animals to be applied to wild species. An allometric model for predicting the biological half-life of radionuclides in vertebrates is further tested and generally shown to perform acceptably. However, to fully exploit allometry we need to understand why some elements do not scale to expected values. For aquatic ecosystems, the relationship between log10(a) (a parameter from the allometric relationship for the organism-water concentration ratio) and log(Kd) presents a potential opportunity to estimate concentration ratios using Kd values. An alternative approach to the CRwo-media model proposed for estimating the transfer of radionuclides to freshwater fish is used to satisfactorily predict activity concentrations in fish of different species from three lakes. We recommend that this approach (REML modelling) be further investigated and developed for other radionuclides and across a wider range of organisms and ecosystems. Ecological stoichiometry shows potential as an extrapolation method in radioecology, either from one element to another or from one species to another. Although some of the approaches considered require further development and testing, we demonstrate the potential to significantly improve predictions of radionuclide transfer to wildlife by making better use of available data.

“…four T1/2b values) of loss recorded for some entries. In part, the number of reported loss components is determined by the experimental approach with respect to the total study duration and also the interval between measurements (Fesenko et al 2015). For instance, short-term studies will not provide estimates of longer components of loss, whilst if sampling is at too large an interval early in the study the shortest components of loss may be missed.…”

“…Авария на четвертом энергетическом блоке Чернобыльской АЭС 26 апреля 1986 года привела к резкому увеличению содержания в природной среде Брянской области (РФ) искусственных радионуклидов, в том числе основного дозообразующего 137 Cs, легко вовлекаемого в трофические цепи агроэкосистем Howard et al, 2013;Fesenko et al, 2015). Её уникальность обусловлена не только количеством радиоактивных веществ, выброшенных в окружающую среду, и размером территорий, подвергшихся интенсивному радиоактивному загрязнению, но и последствиями, возникшими в сельском хозяйстве, а также материально-техническими затратами, потребовавшимися для смягчения последствий (Fesenko, Monken-Fernandes, 2013;Geraskin et al, 2013;Bradshaw et al, 2014).…”

We studied the main reasons caused the agricultural crop variety regards 137Cs uptake and translocation from the soil. The cereal grains -oats (Avena sativa L.), Sudan grass (Sorghum vulgare L.), and millet seed (Panicum milaceum L.); grain legumeyellow lupine (Lupinus luteus L.), and fodder crop -annual ryegrass (Lutium multiflorum Lam) were considered in our research. The transpiration, transpiration coefficient, relative transpiration, multiplicity of decrease in the specific activity of 137Cs in phytomass towards experimental variants and control, the intensity of the bioleaching process of 137Cs, the specific surfaces of rhizosphere, the rhizosphere surface density of root charges, and constants of roots and soil ion conductivity were used to calculate the 137Cs leaching from the soil by different crops. We used special model that considered the effect of double electrostatic fields of the rhizosphere and soil on the ion flux to calculate the 137Cs bioleaching from the soil by various crops. We suggested that the conductivity of the root-soil interface was the main reason of specific variation in the 137Cs leaching from the soil. We ranged the studied crops according to the decrease of 137Cs leaching from sod-podzolic sandy soil: yellow lupine, sultan grass -oats seed -millet seed -perennial ryegrass. Key words: bioleaching model, 137Cs, rhizosphere, specific surface, surface charge density, bioleaching intensity, soil and rhizosphere electrical conductivity.
