Actually Loose Kuke, seeing that no one else in the world has ever done an easy to work with bioaccumulation model, I think what I have created here is elegant and beautiful in it's applicability and simplicity.

Sure it can be refined. I had one thought to integrate the "cleaning effect" on the ocean water by the life forms. Not exactly sure how I would do this, would need decent estimates of different types of life forms, their CF, and then time would have to be worked into it, since the source term is an ongoing input into the system.

Maybe Ill apply for that Nobel prize after I complete that. LOL

Youll never shutdown what is right for the planet. Even all nuclear accidents source term and bioaccumulation pales in comparison to natural radiation which contains a tremendous amount of radon. You need better analysis. This work you put out is of the quality similar to a million chickens dosed at wipp. Look I know you mean well, yet its the blind leading the blind. Your work, sadly, is without merit and not ready for prime time. You just cant oversimplify your way to a false conclusion. The back of the envelope approach is not good enough. Overconservatisms that propagate huge individual uncertainties lead to unreasonable and unrealistic results. Improve your methods or be saddled with knowing you're doing it wrong.

Yep, half of the USA dose is now from "medical treatment" how sick is that?

Shutting down nuke will be enough glory for me, no Nobel prize needed. Sociopaths really like those, I don't need it.

Indeed, isn't it nice of those animals and plants to be filtering the radiation out of the ocean so that Kenny Boy can't find much. How altruistic.

So when are you going to pick up that Nobel Prize again? Try RESRAD. There is a reason Busby is on the outs. Youll figure it out why.

Thanks again Stock. A few tidbits, perhaps relevant. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00349252 Think it was Jebus the other day on ENE linked to this. "Temperature effects on accumulation and retention of radionuclides in the sea star, Asterias forbesi: implications for contaminated northern waters"

Also, perhaps not as relevant in sea water, but some studies show that an organism that has sufficient key minerals, magnesium and selenium are examples, can more easily discard some heavy metals - perhaps some or even many artificial radioactive materials?? "Dietary Selenium Reduces Retention of Methyl Mercury in Freshwater Fish" from http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es202565g?src=recsys&journalCode=esthag
And this: "Marine fish are usually about 100 times lower in cesium-137 than are freshwater fish because potassium, which is more abundant in seawater, blocks uptake of cesium by marine organisms."

Also the monumental Chernobyl Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and Environment found great variation within same species in the same area. In other words, there are unknowns, and 'serendipities.'
