8In addition to structuring the <strong>Biosphere</strong> Assessment Portfolio into thematic folders, thefolders are categorised into three levels: Science Reports aim to form the basis of realisticdiscussion for the assessment and to provide recommendations, in a form that is accessibleto the scientific community, for the further assessment modelling, where numeroussimplifications and assumptions are required. The technical documentation isthe bridge between the recommendations and the actual assessment. It describes theassessment models and the selected data. The assessment reports then include the actualradionuclide transport calculations of the concentrations in environmental media, andthe assessment of exposures to both humans and the other biota. Lastly, the summaryand full conclusions of the biosphere assessment are presented in the <strong>Biosphere</strong> SummaryReport, shown as the BS Assessment Report in the figure.Overlapping issuesGeosphere-biosphere interface Future human activities Knowledge Quality AssessmentSCIENCETECHNICSSite and its evolution<strong>Biosphere</strong> at presentFuture terrainsFuture ecosystemsElement stocks and fluxesModule descriptionsWellAgricultural landTerrestrial ecosystemsAquatic ecosystemsDose calculation modulesTechnical modelling tools<strong>Biosphere</strong> processesAquatic/marine ecosystemsWetlandsTerrestrial ecosystemsAgricultural land and other land-usesSoils and sediments and their development<strong>Biosphere</strong> assessment dataUniversal propertiesElement- (nuclide-)specific propertiesDerived site propertiesExposure factors (e.g. intake dose factors)Consumption and other living habitsASSESSMENTCases and variantsExposures of total environmentCalculation case 1Concentrations in environmental mediaCalculation case 2Comparison to natural stocks and fluxesCalculation case NAlternative indicatorsDiverse uses of environmental mediaDoses to members of publicEffects assessment to flora and fauna<strong>Biosphere</strong> assessment reportSummary (all folders and overlapping issues)Overall knowledge quality assessment (uncertainties and confidence)Conclusions on the long-term radiological impacts of the repository<strong>Biosphere</strong>AssessmentPortfolioFigure 1-3.
