Over the past decade, International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has developed a comprehensive approach to environmental protection that includes use of Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) assess radiological impacts environment. For purposes calculating radiation dose, RAPs are approximated as simple shapes contain homogeneous distributions radionuclides. As uncertainties in dose effects larger than calculation, some have argued against more realistic calculation...
