Handling
Explanation of how the FEP is treated
Movement is considered in the Biosphere Interaction Matrix (SKB R-10-37) but not in the Radionuclide Model (RM). Movement of organisms in surface water may have an influence on the surface water movement. However, in the RM the water is assumed to be homogenously mixed and therefore movement is not necessary to consider. The handling is further described in the SR-Site Biosphere synthesis report, SKB TR-10-09, and in the ecosystem reports, SKB TR-10-01, -02 and -03.
