Radioecology after Chernobyl: Biogeochemical Pathways of Artificial Radionuclides

by Frederick Warner (Editor)

Based upon the research of prominent international scientists, written at a level comprehensible to those without specialized knowledge of the field, it considers the magnitude of radionuclide releases from the nuclear fuel cycle, from accidents and other details of sources and their effect upon non-human biota. Describes environmental processes and geochemical cycling which may be obtained from the use of radionuclides as tracers.
