“…These include from steady one-dimensional to transient three-dimensional models of flow dynamics and waste transport in subsurface aquifers, surface water regimes, estuaries/oceans, and the atmosphere. Most of these models are available in the literature (Owen, et al, 1979); but for a systematic approach, they must be adapted, modified, and documented in a unique format so that the flexibility and utility of combining the models can be achieved. They can then be used separately to deal with sitespecific problems or combinedly to handle large scale generic study.…”

A systematic approach for alternative nuclear waste management assessment is prescribed for evaluating the fate and transport of radwaste iu the environment and to man. The approach consists of a system of flow dynamic and waste transport models for the physical environment, transfer models to biota, and dose models to man. Flow dynamic and waste transport models are included for computing spatial-temporal variations of the flow field and radwaste concentration in subsurface aquifers, surface water regimes, estuaries/ oceans, and the atmosphere. Transfer models are linked to flow dynamic and waste transport models to study the uptake from and to the physical environment of the waste by aquatic and terrestrial biota. Dose models are used to compute both the radwaste input to man and its effects on man. With these series of computations, the radiation dose from alternative nuclear waste management strategies can be computed. Coupled with the exposure and effect analysis, the approach should facilitate the selection of the best management methodologies among many alternatives.

Formal models, most of them implemented with computers, play a critically important role in the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental regulatory policy. As in the social sciences, some of these models serve as research tools which are useful in developing and testing theoretical insight. But a large set of models are used directly in the day-to-day processes of impact assessment, policy-formulation, and most importantly, regulatory enforcement. This paper is not a systematic literature review of models used in environmental impact assessment. Such a review would require a book-length manuscript and would probably not serve the needs of most readers of
