Abstract

The present work has been done within the IAEA Environmental Modelling for Radiation Safety Programme. EMRAS-II aims to improve the capabilities in the field of environmental radiation dose assessment by means of acquisition of improved data for model testing, comparison, reaching consensus on modelling philosophies, approaches and parameter values, development of improved methods and exchange of information.
