在英国，由环境署/英国自然基金资助的研究提供了一系列基于电子表格的评估工具，用于计算沿海、淡水和陆地生态系统中生物群所接受的剂量。该方法使用参考生物概念，其中感兴趣的生物（特征物种）等同于特定的参考生物（基于其物理几何形状和生态学）。本文介绍了随后的阶段，整理额外的物种，和网站，具体的数据，并进行评估，以确定是否自然2000年网站得到充分的保护，从授权释放的电离辐射。用于评估的特征物种是EC鸟类和鸟类指令中列出的物种。本文将描述英国环境署遵循的整体评估过程，展示了采用的阶段性评估过程;每个特征物种如何在数学上与最合适的参考生物体几何形状对齐;并提供了一个位于英国亨伯河口的Natura 2000网站进行评估的例子。
In the UK, research funded by the Environment Agency/English Nature has provided a series of spreadsheet-based assessment tools for calculating doses received by biota in coastal, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. The approach uses the reference organism concept where the organism of interest (feature species) is equated to a particular reference organism (based on its physical geometry and ecology). This paper describes the stages followed to collate additional species-, and site-, specific data and to undertake assessments to determine whether Natura 2000 sites are adequately protected from authorised releases of ionising radiation. The feature species used for the assessment were species listed under the EC Birds and Habitats Directives. The paper will describe the overall assessment process followed by the UK Environment Agency, demonstrating the staged assessment process adopted; how each feature species is mathematically aligned with the most appropriate reference organism geometry; and provide an example of the assessment conducted for the Natura 2000 sites located in the Humber Estuary, UK.
