Assessment of the radiological impact of planned or existing
practices involving the (actual or potential) release of
radionuclides to the environment are largely based on the use of
modelling techniques which allow prediction of the relationship
between environmental levels and releases and the associated
radiation dose to man. Models are imperfect means of representing
environmental transfer processes, and it is essential to know the
reliability which can be associated with the predictions of these
models for each and every assessment situation. Such information is
necessary in order to establish confidence in model predictions
and, in particular, to allow adequate safety margins to be set in
the design of nuclear facilities. This knowledge is also a
prerequisite to determine release limits or to decide whether
further research is justified in order to improve predictive
accuracy. Therefore a number of distinguished pilpers have been
presented during this workshop which focused both on practical
aspects of variability of observations of facts occuring in nature,
but also on learned aspects of the science of statistics. It is not
very clear, however, whether much insight in mechanisms is gained
by such an approach. This insight is probably rather reached by a
straightforward judgment of the quality of the primary data and by
the willingness to think over carefully the experiments and
measurernents before doing them. The book is composed such as to
give the reader the chance to quietly study the presented papers in
good order.
