(Workshop on the Biospheric Model Validation Study (BIOMOVS)): Foreign trip report, November 7--11, 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5704296
The seventh workshop of the Biospheric Model Validation Study (BIOMOVS), held at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) at Tokai, was attended by Dr. B.G. Blaylock from the ORNL. BIOMOVS is an international cooperative effort to test models designed for calculating environmental transfer and bioaccumulations of radionuclides and other trace substances. The purpose of the workshop was to compare model predictions with independent data sets. Comprehensive data from the Chernobyl accident for 14 sites have been provided for model testing. These data permit the evaluation of secondary model parameters, such as the contribution of inhalation by cows to the concentration of /sup 131/I in milk. Results of the final report for the scenario, ''Mercury in Aquatic Ecosystems,'' were presented.
