Modelling in situ mussel ruthenium-106 concentration dynamics due to fluctuating seawater radionuclide concentrations

Abstract

A model of radionuclide transfer between marine organisms and seawater was applied to results of experiments performed on the French shores of the English Channel. Two experiments on the transfer of 106Ru between Mytilus edulis and its environment were carried out to establish parameters. Once the transfer model had been characterized, it was applied to results obtained in an independent test experiment. -from Authors
