Predictions of radionuclide dose rates to freshwater organisms can be used to evaluate the
radiological environmental impacts of releases from uranium mining and milling projects …

The assessment of the ecological impact due to radionuclides at contaminated sites requires
estimation of the exposure of wildlife, in order to correlate radiation dose with known …

Crab has been designated by the ICRP as one of twelve reference/model organisms for
understanding the impacts of radionuclide releases on the biosphere. However …

In response to changing international recommendations and national requirements, a
