Prototype dynamic tool for the assessment of radiological exposure to non-human biota in a coastal heath dune ecosystem
… provided a useful tool for further research in radioecology as it can be further developed to include more radionuclides and calibrated to different ecosystems. Model output has shown that the approach developed here for simulating radionuclide turnover by biota can reproduce realistic trends of …

Radioactive Resurgence? Understanding Nuclear Natures in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone
… Second, I examine the scientific field of “radioecology” to elucidate how Chornobyl’s nuclear natures are configured multiply, and how the impacts of radiation on ecology are contested. I unpack the scientific controversy that exists among radioecologists at Chornobyl, outlining a …

The sorption of uranium(VI) and neptunium(V) onto surfaces of selected metal oxides and alumosilicates studied by in situ vibrational spectroscopy
… experiments to a wide range in the field of radioecology. The results obtained in this work contribute to a better understanding of the geochemical interactions of actinides, in particular U(VI) and Np(V/VI), in the environment. Consequently, more reliable predictions of actinides migration …

Polonium-210 in Freshwater Environments: Analytical Advances, Predictive Modelling, Food Web Transfer and Dose Assessment
Polonium-210 (²¹⁰Po) is a naturally occurring radionuclide of high radiological relevance, yet its occurrence, environmental behaviour and biological transfer in freshwater ecosystems remain poorly characterized. Advances in understanding have been constrained by analytical challenges and by …
