Modelling transfer to animals accounting for trans-generational factors

The FASTer-lite model is multi-compartmental model that can be used to simulate transfer through a simple terrestrial food-chain. The model uses allometric relationships to describe dietary intake rates and radionuclide biological half-lives; the latter were mostly derived from published literature. This type of conventional modelling, for simulating the transfer of radionuclides to representative animals such as birds, results in the …
