More context: Although the methods used for the assessments are simple, they are robust and encompass the main exposure pathways relevant for assessing exposures to wild plants and animals. Nonetheless, the treatment of heterogeneous distributions of some radionuclides, such as radioiodine, is subject to considerable uncertainty. The possibility that some individual biota received rather high local doses, for example to the thyroid, cannot be excluded, although a response at the population level would be unlikely given the short duration of elevated radioiodine levels in time and space.
