Handling
Explanation of how the FEP is treated
Radiolysis is considered in the Biosphere Interaction Matrix (SKB R-10-37) but not in the Radionuclide Model (RM). The amount of radionuclides in this safety assessment is too small to have any significant effect and therefore this interaction is not necessary to consider in the RM. 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.
