Abstract: The R&D 128 and ERICA are models recommended by the Environment Agency of England and Wales and European Commission respectively in assessing non-human species radiation dose. Comparisons and analyses were made on aspects such as the calculation principal of terrestrial biota radiological dose, nuclide types, reference biota types and computation parameters. By adopting the two models, radiation doses of terrestrial biota near a Chinese AP1000 nuclear power plant were calculated with their computation results and merits being compared and analyzed at last.

Key words: terrestrial biota, radiological dose calculation, AP1000 NPP, R&D 128 model, ERICA model
