Abstract :
This present aims to study the biological environmental impacts of radionuclides, in aquatic and marine environments, as numerous aquatic species can move over considerable distances than terrestrial species. Using specific simulating modeling code ( RESRAD-BIOTA 1.5), some biological and environmental impacts factors such as Biota Concentration Guide BCG and the tissue of concentration of aquatic animals, which are determined when exposing to some radionuclides (40K and Uranium series) at the selected area of Abou- Qir bay. The study showed that there is an increase in mean average value of 40K at the selected area of Abou-Qir bay ( 16.58 Bq/l). This can attributed to the location of Abou-Qir fertilizer company at studying area. Also the results showed that the different aquatic animals have Highest BCG (Biota Concentration Guide) value in case of U-238 than U-235,U-234 and U-233. On the other hand, the study showed that the highest value of tissue concentration of aquatic animals was 0.15 Bq/Kg, this value related to the increase in mean average value of radioactivity of K-40 which obtained in the selected area at Abou-Qir Bay.
