Working Group Reference models for waste disposal
Its difficult to make prediction, especially about the futureMark Twain
Aims • Develop reference modelling approaches and reference cases for biosphere in the future on the basis of the BIOMASS approach • Include environmental change in biosphere modelling • Climate, society, land use • Set of models/cases that cover a wide range of environmental situations
Processes involved in environmental transport and exposure to man • Drinking water (human, cattle) • Contamination of soils • Uptake by plants • Accumulation / speciation / migration / sorption / desorption • Erosion / resuspension / bioturbation • Foliar contamination • Interception, weathering, translocation • Transfer to meat and milk • Processes in sediments • Sorption / desorption /speciation / bioturbation / resuspension column • Processes in water • Speciation, uptake by fish etc. • Ingestion, Inhalation, ext. exposure
Work for the next meeting:Process analysis • Identify impact of climatic factors on processes that may have a major influence on dose to man (all members) • Soils • Lakes • Landscape • Are these processes/features of more universal nature or are they specific to a site? • In how far have models to be modified – developed for temperate climate – to address the specific conditions of the changed climate
Work until the next meeting:Model calculation (3-5 group members) • Assessmentofexposuresfor GBI-Ecosystemcombinations • Applypresentdaytemperateclimateconditions • Assumptions, conceptual model, processes, parameters • Modification and application of model for other climates • To give modifications for Assumptions, conceptual model, processes, parameters • Justify modification • Compare results • Exposure, concentration in media • First conclusion
GBI-Ecosystem combinations to be considered Radionuclides to be considered Cl-36, Ni-59, Se-79, Tc-99, I-129, Ra-226, Np-237, Pu-239
Next meeting • Madrid • 3 days in the week of 4-8 May • Common sessions with BIOPROTA
