This report presents results of monitoring of radioactivity in water, sediment, fish, seaweed and crustaceans collected along the Norwegian coast and in the Barents Sea in 2002. An overview of discharges from Norwegian sources and data concerning the longrange transport of radionuclides from European nuclear facilities is included.

This report presents results of monitoring of radioactivity in water, sediment, fish, seaweed and crustaceans collected along the Norwegian coast and in the Norwegian Sea/Barents Sea in 2003. An overview of discharges from Norwegian sources and data concerning the long-range transport of radionuclides from European nuclear facilities is included.

This report presents the results obtained by the joint Norwegian-Russian research cruise in 2012 to investigate the radioecological status of Stepovogo Fjord on the eastern coast of Novaya Zemlya, where the nuclear submarine K-27 and solid radioactive waste has been dumped.

This report includes a summary of the presentations, discussions and conclusions of an online event held in June 2021 to provide input to the 5th International Conference on Radioecology & Environmental Radioactivity.

It is possible to establish a direct link between the use of medical radioisotopes at the University Hospital of North Norway and observations of activity concentrations of the same radioisotopes in sewage and in the case of iodine-131 (I-131) in the brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus in the marine environment around Tromsø. This study estimates biological half lifes of I-131 in F. vesiculosus, excretion rates of medical radioisotopes from patients as well as biota and human dose exposures
