【 摘 要 】

This analysis of the Biosphere Dose Conversion Factors (BSDCFs), which constitutes the biosphere mode abstraction, provides the technical bases for determining the relative importance of the transport processes for the following groundwater-related biosphere characteristics that are important to repository performance: radionuclide accumulation in surface soil; operation of evaporative coolers; resuspension of surface soil; radionuclide transport to crops; radionuclide transport to animal products: and radionuclide transport to aquatic foods. This analysis also provides technical bases for determining the relative importance of the receptor exposure pathways from groundwater that are important to repository development: ingestion, inhalation of particulate matter, inhalation of aerosols generated by evaporative coolers, and external exposure.
