title: The validation of the dynamic food chain model BURN-POSEIDON on Cs-137 and Sr-90 data of the Dnieper-Bug estuary, Ukraine
abstract: The uptake of radioceasium and radiostrontium in biota in dose assessment models is mostly estimated on the basis of Concentration Factors (CF). For accidental releases, the dynamical foodweb model BURN has been implemented in the coastal model POSEIDON (part of the Decision Support System RODOS). BURN can be applied on water bodies with different salinity levels, since in the model the uptake of radioceasium and radiostrontium in phytoplankton is governed by potassium and calcium in the water,
