BIOPROTA was set up to address the key uncertainties in long term assessments of contaminant releases into the environment arising from radioactive waste disposal.
Participation is aimed at national authorities and agencies with responsibility for achieving safe and acceptable radioactive waste management, both regulators and operators. At the outset, it was recognised that there are radioecological and other data and information issues which are common to specific assessments required in many countries.
The project focuses on key radionuclides and the key biosphere migration and accumulation mechanisms relevant to those radionuclides.
The mutual support within a commonly focused project is intended to make more efficient use of skills and resources, and provide a transparent and traceable basis for the choices of parameter values as well as for the wider interpretation of information used in assessments.
