Models that describe tritium dispersion in the atmosphere and its subsequent transfer to soil and vegetation were compared through use of well-defined scenarios, and validated by comparing predictions with observed long-term data. Predicted concentrations agreed with observations to within a factor of 2-4 for all compartments (air, soil, vegetation). A comparison of sub-surface models for predicting tritium migration into or out of aquifers, was also carried out, and it was shown that in each of the cases different models agree within a factor of 2 for most endpoints. Validation of the subsurface models against observations is still to be done.
