The common source of anthropogenic radioactivity of the polar regions has been global
fallout from nuclear weapons testing in the atmosphere. The depositions from this source are …

The Chernobyl accident focussed attention on the transfer of radionuclides, and in particular
radiocaesium transfer through natural and semi-natural ecosystems to man. Within the …

Transfer of radiocesium from vegetation to milk was studied in dairy goats grazing heavily
contaminated mountain pasture in southern Norway in the years following the Chernobyl …

Dietary studies and whole-body measurements were used to estimate the intake of
radiocesium and the radiation dose received by different groups of people in Norway after …

In a study of transfer of Chernobyl radiocaesium to man, dietary surveys and whole body
monitoring were conducted at two sites in the Bryansk Region of the Russian Federation …

The accumulation and long term behaviour of radiocaesium in mushrooms were studied at
selected sites in Norway. A large variation in transfer factors from soil to mushroom were …

The reindeer-herding Southern Saamis, from Central Norway, were the population group
exposed to the highest levels of radioactivity in Norway, following the Chernobyl accident …

The Chernobyl accident triggered a world wide monitoring and research activity. In the
Nordic countries a renewed interest was taken in the lichen reindeer food chain. A wealth of …

The uptake into vegetation of radiocaesium originating from the Chernobyl accident and
from previous sources was compared at two upland sites in west Cumbria during …

This report provides data for use in assessments of routine discharges of radionuclides to
terrestrial and freshwater environments. Some of the data may also be useful for assessing …
