Testing of Environmental Transfer Models Using Chernobyl Fallout Data from the Iput River Catchment Area, Bryansk Region, Russian Federation IAEA-BIOMASS-4 Testing of environmental transfer models using Chernobyl fallout data from the Iput River catchment area, Bryansk Region, Russian Federation Report of the Dose Reconstruction Working Group of BIOMASS Theme 2 Part of the IAEA Co-ordinated Research Project on Biosphere Modelling and Assessment (BIOMASS) April 2003 INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY The originating Section of this publication in the IAEA was: Waste Safety Section International Atomic Energy Agency Wagramer Strasse 5 P.O. Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria TESTING OF ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFER MODELS USING CHERNOBYL FALLOUT DATA FROM THE IPUT RIVER CATCHMENT AREA, BRYANSK REGION, RUSSIAN FEDERATION IAEA, VIENNA, 2003 IAEA-BIOMASS-4 ISBN 92–0–104003–2 © IAEA, 2003 Printed by the IAEA in Austria April 2003 FOREWORD The IAEA Programme on BIOsphere Modelling and ASSessment (BIOMASS) was launched in Vienna in October 1996. The programme was concerned with developing and improving capabilities to predict the transfer of radionuclides in the environment. The programme had three themes: Theme 1: Radioactive Waste Disposal. The objective was to develop the concept of a standard or reference biosphere for application to the assessment of the long term safety of repositories for radioactive waste. Under the general heading of “Reference Biospheres”, six Task Groups were established: Task Group 1: Principles for the Definition of Critical and Other Exposure Groups. Task Group 2: Principles for the Application of Data to Assessment Models. Task Group 3: Consideration of Alternative Assessment Contexts. Task Group 4: Biosphere System Identification and Justification. Task Group 5: Biosphere System Descriptions. Task Group 6: Model Development. Theme 2: Environmental Releases. BIOMASS provided an international forum for activities aimed at increasing the confidence in methods and models for the assessment of radiation exposure related to environmental releases. Two working groups addressed issues concerned with the reconstruction of radiation doses received by people from past releases of radionuclides to the environment and the evaluation of the efficacy of remedial measures. Theme 3: Biosphere Processes. The aim of this theme was to improve capabilities for modelling the transfer of radionuclides in particular parts of the biosphere identified as being of potential radiological significance and where there were gaps in modelling approaches. This topic was explored using a range of methods including reviews of the literature, model inter-comparison exercises and, where possible, model testing against independent sources of data. Three working groups were established to examine the modelling of: (1) long term tritium dispersion in the environment; (2) radionuclide uptake by fruits; and (3) radionuclide migration and accumulation in forest ecosystems. This report describes results of the studies undertaken by the Dose Reconstruction Working Group under Theme 2. The IAEA wishes to acknowledge the contribution of the Theme 2 Working Group Leader, K. Thiessen of the United States of America, to the preparation of this report. The IAEA Scientific Secretary for this publication was initially. K.-L. Sjoeblom and subsequently. C. Robinson of the Division of Radiation and Waste Safety.

The Iput Scenario deals with l37Cs contamination of the catchment basin and agricultural area in the Bryansk Region of Russia, which was heavily contaminated after the Chernobyl accident. This exercise was used to test the chronic exposure pathway models in OSCAAR with actual measurements and to identify the most important sources of uncertainty with respect to each part of the assessment. The OSCAAR chronic exposure pathway models almost successfully reconstructed the whole 10-year time course of l37Cs activity concentrations in most requested types of agricultural products and natural foodstuffs. Modeling of l37Cs downward migration in soils is, however, still incomplete and more detail modeling of the changes of cesium bioavailability with time is needed for long term predictions of the contamination of food.

The Republic of Belarus has large reserves of a variety of natural resources; in recent decades, making rational use of them, and the closely related issue of environmental protection, have become matters of particular importance. 2. The levels of contamination resulting from economic activity in a number of regions are now so high that additional pollution or human intervention may bring about numerous irreversible disruptions to natural ecosystems. 3. Environmental pollution can have ecological, toxicological, social and economic effects on public health and life-support systems. Warding off the adverse effects of human activity has become an urgent necessity, one that can be attained only on the basis of objective information 1 Prepared by Mr. I.V.

Abstract: The author reports on the results of the studies on distribution, cenotic characteristic and analysis of protection of habitats of plants of the Bern Convention in East Polesye. In 1995– 2006 the species of plants, which are given in the list of Appendix I of “Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats” were identified in this region. On quantity of sites in the studied region and geographical distribution the Bern Convention plants of East Polesye are divided in very rare (forest species Botrychium multifidum and Cypripedium calceolus ), rare (forest-marsh species Ostericum palustre ) and rather rare (forest species Pulsatilla patens , water species Salvinia natans and Trapa natans ). The maps of distribution of rare species are represented. The floristic structure of the plant communities with participation of these species is documented. Keywords: plants, distribution, cenotic characteristic, East Polesye, nature protection, Bern convention. Introduction With the purpose of development of strategy of protection of habitats of plants of wild flora, in especially disappearing and vulnerable, which are given in the list of Appendix I of “Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and 33 Natural Habitats” (1979) the systematization of information about all known habitats of these species in natural regions of Europe is necessary.
