Cel This project has led to the development and experimental validation of a set of mechanistic models for the uptake and accumulation of radionuclides in aquatic organisms of distinct structural and functional organisation. The results obtained prove that it is possible to integrate the different models into one robust system that can be used to predict the fate of radionuclides in entire food chains. Although it has been shown that the approach works for some plants and fish under a variety of conditions, essential information is still lacking concerning the kinetics of radionuclide uptake at intermediate trophic levels to allow the construction whole food chain pharmacokinetic models.IFE and ECN will study aspects of loss processes and remobilisation processes in the sediment and water column, including direct adsorption to sediments and release by ammonia in anaerobic sediments. KUL, LNETI, CEA and ENEA will study the sources of variability of Kd in different solids and at different sites. UMAL, RUCA and GERMTRAD will carry out laboratory studies at the cellular level to identify fundamental causes of CF differences between different plant and animal species at the same site and between the same species at different sites. UMAL and ULIEGE will study the uptake of radionuclides by unicellular organisms, algae and bacteria respectively, at different stages of growth. LNETI will study the transfer of radionuclides to the second trophic level, i.e. to zooplankton. CEA will use their multi-pathway trophic chain model to assess the importance of speciation of several elements on uptake by fish and the relative importance of bacteria in the food chain. They will also carry our reviews of their data bases to identify the effects of natural radionuclides on fish. The combined programme should improve our fundamental understanding of radionuclide transport through the aquatic environment and pave the way for the development of a new generation of functional transport models.
