Environmental Modeling for Radiation Safety

The newly launched IAEA project MEREIA (MEthods for Radiological and Environmental Impact Assessment; 2021- 2025), continues some activities of previous exercises in the field radioecological modelling focuses on areas where probabilistic approach determines predictive capability environmental models. program offered opportunity to set up well-designed verified scenarios collect compare exposures predicted by particular models based this scenario then perform a validation study contributing It consists comparison model prediction with observed data or case there is lack measurement within prognoses. international works have brought significant improvement modeling terms better understanding mathematical description complex physical chemical phenomena that occur various media also promoted new experimental investigations. results yielded updated handbooks large number parameters less-known elements. Moreover, principal objective was an integrated risk assessment reference group population biota associated radionuclides releases from kinds nuclear facilities as different types power reactors, radioactive waste disposal more research facility. This reflects recent recommendations extend protection against radiation hazards humans wildlife flora fauna. However, statistics supported knowledge essential still remain small. Therefore, one could be aware limitations required advanced methods prognosis Monte Carlo.
