dc.description.abstractThe scientific understanding of radioecological parameters within tropical and subtropical regions is relatively poor and many parameters are either unknown or have very large uncertainties. A research program has been initiated to investigate these data deficiencies and commence targeted research into the parameters with the most significant effect on the radiological consequences following releases of radioactivity for critical groups in the South East Asian region. A computer based model has been developed to assess the radiological consequences and to determine the most significant parameters for the region. The radiological consequence model includes a user-friendly graphical interface and is designed to investigate the dose effects of various scenarios, radioecological parameters, pathways and critical groups. The ability to perform sensitivity and uncertainty analysis on the data will allow the most significant radioecological parameters to be determined. Initially, the model will deal with the South East Asian region but flexibility has been incorporated into the design to allow application in other regions. The importance of local foodstuffs, soil conditions, climatic considerations, agricultural practices and critical group diets has been emphasised by this preliminary work. Variations in both critical radionuclides and pathways are important when tropical and subtropical transfer parameters, diets and lifestyles are considered.en_AU
