Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5858. To determine how climate change may influence legacy radionuclides from bomb testing in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as naturally occurring radionuclides in the Arctic. To predict the amount of radionuclides that may enter surface water systems because of climate change, and how these will be taken up in plants and ...
