An international comparison of models and approaches for the estimation of radiological exposure to non-human biota

Over the last decade a number of models and approaches have been developed to estimate the exposure of non-human biota to ionising radiations. In some countries these are now being used in regulatory assessments. However, to date there has been no attempt to compare the outputs of the different models used. This paper presents the work of the IAEA EMRAS Biota Working Group comparing the predictions of a number of such models in model-model comparisons and model-data comparisons.
