Nord-Cotentin radioecological study – sensitivity and uncertainty analysis
A radioecological study has been performed by the Nord Cotentin Radioecology Group to assess the radiation-induced leukaemia risk in the Beaumont -Hague canton of the Nord-Cotentin region. Results were published in July 1999. One important figure was the number of leukaemia cases in excess for young people aged 0 to 24, living in the Beaumont-Hague canton and exposed to radioactive discharges f...

متن کاملModeling and validating tritium transfer in a grassland ecosystem in response to 3H release
In this paper a radioecological model for tritium transfer in a grassland ecosystem developed on an hourly time-step basis is proposed and compared with the first data set obtained in the vicinity of the AREVA NC reprocessing plant of La Hague (France).
متن کاملAssessment of Marine Biota Doses Arising from the Radioactive Sea Discharges of the Cogema Hague Facility – A Comprehensive Ca
This paper reports an assessment of radiation doses to marine biota arising from the radioactive sea discharges (as liquid effluents) of the COGEMA La Hague facility. The La Hague facility is located in the northwest part of France, in the north-west tip of the Nord-Cotentin Peninsula, along the English Channel south shore. The case study was primarily based on the large amount of data from rec...
متن کامل129I/127I ratio measurements in bovine thyroids from the North Cotentin area (France).
Iodine-129 is routinely released in the gaseous and liquid low-level radioactive effluents of nuclear spent fuel reprocessing plants. Environmental impact assessment of these discharges are performed based on monitoring samples of different types of natural indicators. Thyroid is considered as a relevant organ to monitor radioactive iodine isotopes. In this study, bovine thyroids were collected...
