Impact of radioactivity on the environment: Problems, state of current knowledge and approaches for identification of radioprotection criteria

Abstract: There is currently a revitalized concern about the potential impact of ionizing radiation on the environment that calls for the construction of a system ensunng an adequate radioprotection of the non-human biota and their associated biotopes. This paper first sets the context of the problem hoth, with respect to the general phüosophy of environmental protection as a whole, but also with respect to the consideration of the environment achieved so far in the purpose of human radioprotection. The current accumula… Show more

“…These may relate to an examination of their relevance to 'environmental exploitation' situations, as for marine fisheries (Woodhead, 2003a,b) or to the need to interface and comply with existing 'nature conservation' legislation that now impinges upon the presence of radionuclides in the environment (Copplestone et al, 2001;Zinger-Gize et al, 2003). They may relate, in particular, to 'pollution control' requirements with respect to radioactive waste disposal , or to existing legislation for nuclear sites, using different approaches, such as the application of dose limits (Higley et al, 2003) or consideration of the application of more complex, ecological risk assessment models (Brechignac, 2001). There is no single application.…”

“…Consequently, assessments of the ecological effects of contaminants have usually focused on assessment of effects on individuals of the most exposed and/or most sensitive species or life stage, with the conclusion that if the most sensitive species or life stage is protected, ecosystem integrity will also be protected. Research is being conducted to support a more comprehensive approach to the assessment of radiological effects on ecosystem function (Brechnignac, 2001(Brechnignac, , 2002a.…”
