CSERAM: A model for prediction of marine radionuclide transport in both particulate and dissolved phases

A description is given of a model for predicting radionuclide transport in both sediment and dissolved phase in the marine environment. The model attempts to go beyond the traditional box model approach in describing the underlying physical processes in a more realistic way. Application to real problems is at the preliminary stage but an illustration is given of the predicted and observed concentrations of a conservative radionuclide, Tc-99.
