TL;DR: The IAEA has published materials aimed at supporting the assessment of radiation impacts on human beings and the environment as discussed by the authors, including two major publications, Sediment Kd======¯¯¯¯s and Concentration Factors for Radionuclides in the Marine Environment (Technical Reports Series No. 247), published in 1985, and the Handbook of Parameter Values for the Prediction of radionuclide (Transfer in Temperate Environments) published in 1994, together provided a full set of available transfer parameter values for the marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments.

TL;DR: The IAEA Technical Reports Series No. 364, Handbook of Parameter Values as discussed by the authors is a set of documents aimed at the limitation of the radiation exposure of the population from various nuclear activities and has been quoted in numerous impact assessments.

TL;DR: The present study is a preliminary step for the development of a robust model of crop contamination after an HTO accidental release and presents an overview of the relevant experimental data for the short term exposure.

TL;DR: Approaches are described which enable the prediction of (14)C and (3)H transfer parameter values from readily available information on the stable H or C concentration of animal feeds, tissues and milk, water turnover rates, and feed intakes and digestibilities.

TL;DR: Combined use of the automated event detection method and the simple model of this study could enable the ambient gamma dose "attention limit" to be reduced from 200 to 400% above background to 25-50%.
