The survey covered the existing Nordic data on transfer factors in agricultural environment. This report is the result of the survey, participants of collecting the data were: Denmark: Sven Poul Nielsen, Miranda Keith-Roach*, Risø National Laboratory Finland: Eila Kostiainen, Riitta Hänninen, Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) Norway: Brit Salbu, Agricultural University of Norway Sweden: Klas Rosén, Enok Haak and Åke Eriksson, Swedish University of Agricultural Science The conclusions and recommendations issued in this report are solely the responsibility of the authors and not of NKS. * Present address: Dept. of Environmental Sciences, University of Plymouth 3 Contents Summary....................................................................................................................................... 5 1 Background and introduction .................................................................................................... 5 2 Methods ..................................................................................................................................... 5 3 Transfer paths ............................................................................................................................ 6 3.1 Transfer fallout-to-plant...................................................................................................... 6 3.1.1 Retention by grass crops.............................................................................................. 7 3.1.2 Retention by grain crops............................................................................................ 10 3.2 Transfer soil-to-plant ........................................................................................................ 13 3.3 Transfer to animal products.............................................................................................. 14 4 UNSCEAR report data ............................................................................................................ 15 5 NRPB data ............................................................................................................................... 17 6 Discussion................................................................................................................................ 20 7 References................................................................................................................................ 21 Appendix 1: Transfer factors...................................................................................................... 22 Appendix 2: Bibliographic database........................................................................................... 23 4 Summary The project was to find tools to assess the order of magnitude of radioactive contamination of agricultural products in an emergency situation. Making a literature survey of transfer factors did this. The review was mainly Nordic data, but to some extent also international data of environ- mental calculation models. The database of publications including transfer data was collected country-wise. Transfer factors for radiocaesium and radiostrontium are given in this report, for the fallout year and for the years after the fallout. They are intended to be used for making rough estimates of the contamination of agricultural products soon after the heaviness and composition of the deposi- tion (Bq m- 2) is known. They are aimed to give a basis for making decisions on the need of measurements for monitoring feedstuffs and for taking relevant countermeasures in agriculture to decrease radionuclide transfer to food items. 1 Background and introduction In the connection of the late-phase nuclear emergency exercise Huginn (Lauritzen, 2001) the assessment of radionuclide concentrations was found difficult especially for the fallout year, because transfer data was not easily to be found for the fallout occurring during the growing sea- son. The most reliable assessments of the radionuclide concentrations pertained to the year fol- lowing the fallout year. There was a need for a survey of transfer factors especially for the fallout year (growing season). The transfer factors for plant root uptake of 137Cs and 90Sr are generally available for the first year after the fallout year, and this data can be used also for assessments, if the fallout happens in spring before the growing season. This data concerns the root uptake of plants, but data con- cerning the transfer from the leaves to edible parts of the plant is scarce. For plants which are planted before deposition early in spring, only some contamination on the above ground parts would be expected, but little or no activity in the roots, because caesium is known to migrate very slowly in soil. Caesium is not expected to reach the depth of the roots before the fields have been ploughed and tilled and therefore considerable transfer from soil to plant through the roots cannot be expected before next year. 2 Methods A review of literature was made by participating countries during the project work, concentrat- ing in the data from Nordic countries published in literature and in-house reports. Both experi- mental data, and data related to real conditions (after Chernobyl) were looked through. The ex- perimental data was the only data found for assessing the transfer of radionuclides when deposi- tion takes place during the growing season. The transfer data after the Chernobyl accident for the next years was available for Nordic countries to be used for the years after the fallout year. The data included in environmental calculation models was gone over. Also the international litera- ture was reviewed using databases of INIS, Springer-Verlag, Elsevier and Academic Press. The database of publications including data of transfer factors was made as an Excel table with columns: Author/source, Publication name, Site, Deposition, Product(s), Soil, season, Transfer factor/foodchain transfer models. The data was compiled according to the author and publishing year (Appendix 2). 5 3 Transfer paths In fallout situation the human population can be exposed to external and internal radiation by different pathways, Figure 1. We consider here the internal radiation from intake of food prod- ucts, due to transfer of radionuclides to crops and animals in agriculture. As generally found, the transfer to a certain crop will be much less if fallout takes place between two growth seasons than during a growth season. The direct transfer from fallout to a crop exposed to the atmosphere during a growth season will always be much higher than the indirect transfer from a contami- nated ground surface, which in turn will be higher than the transfer by root uptake from a con- taminated soil or plough layer. Figure 1. Main pathways for radionuclides to man (Rosén, 1996). Different measures and units are used to evaluate and compare the transfer of radionuclides from one sector to another sector within the nutrient chains of ecosystems. Aspects on use of some of them will be treated below in the order: transfer from fallout-to-plant; transfer from soil-to- plant; transfer from feedingstuff-to-animal products. Some of the most used transfer factors/ ratios/coefficients are defined in Appendix 1. 3.1 Transfer fallout-to-plant

The famous 1980s 'Dynamite' side starring, among others, strike duo Preben Elkjær and Michael Laudrup, is fondly remembered, not least as the first Denmark team to qualify for the FIFA World Cup. There have been three further participations since then, including a quarter-final at France '98.

INDLEDNING FORORD I verden omkring os vandt Tyskland en festlig og spektakulær VM-slutrunde i fodbol- dens sambaland, Brasilien – desværre uden Danmark blandt deltagerne. Herhjem- me vandt AaB både pokal og mesterskab hos mændene, mens Fortuna Hjørring og Brøndby tog sig af trofæerne hos kvinderne. Og så fik det danske U21-landshold et historisk gennembrud og gik ubesejret gennem kvalifikationen til EM. I DBU har 2014 også budt på en masse nyt. Vi har fejret 125 års jubilæum – med fest og fejring for spillere, trænere og fans samt gæster fra hele fodboldens verden. Vi har lanceret fortællingen ‘En Del af Noget Større’ og en ny vision for at skabe fokus på fodboldens bidrag til samfundet. Vi har lanceret nye strategier for vores fans og billetområder – med nedsættelse af prisen på de fleste billetter. Og vi har lanceret ny kommerciel strategi med fokus på flere kommercielle partnerskaber i stedet for én hovedsponsor. Vi har holdt seminar om fodboldens betydning for danskernes sundhed – og mulig- heden for at gøre endnu mere. Og så har vi set et nyt samarbejde mellem skoler og klubber vokse frem med henblik på at få mere fodbold i og uden for skoletiden.
