SIGNIFICANT EUROPEAN DYNAMIC INGESTION MODELS
INTERACTIVE INPUTS
Interactive regime offers wide range of input data and model parameters alternative options thus enabling fast examination of their variability and
uncertainty on random fluctuations of the resulting outputs.
INTERACTIVE INPUT SUBSYSTEMS:
1) Atm. dispersion model and release scenario definitions
2) Ingestion parameters definitions
3) LHS – (Latin Hypercube Sampling) for uncertainty propagation through the model
ADM input panel
FOOD-CHAIN ACTIVITY TRANSPORT
Driving essential input radiological variables : TICnair (photosysnthesis of H3,C14)
Ωngr (tout ) (accidental scenario - acute exposure); Draten
gr (routine oper. - chronic exposure)
plant leaves (foliar uptake)
soil (root uptake)
edible parts of plants
feedstuffs
animal products
foodstuffs:
PROCESSING STORAGE TRANSPORT CONSUMPTION
continuous attack during veg. period
interception translocation transfer
processing of feedstuffs
transfer to animal products
processing of foodstuffs
culinary preparation
direct consumption
Ingestion data
TYPES OF CALCULATIONS
•Deterministic calculations (design basis accidents, worst- case scenarios)
•Variability examinations ( sensitivity analysis, alternative model parametrisation, categorial variables,…)
•Uncertainty analysis
Variability reflects changes of a certain quantity over time, over space or across individuals in a population. Variability represents diversity or heterogeneity in a well characterized population. The true variability does not disappear with better measurement.
The term uncertainty covers stochastic uncertainties, structural uncertainties representing partial ignorance or incomplete knowledge associated with poorly-characterized phenomena and uncertainties of input data. We can only reduce the uncertainties by obtaining the better information.
