STUDY ON RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF NUCLEAR FUEL CYCLE FACILITIES

ABSTRACT
The radiological assessment model REIA 1.0 is established to assess the radio-logical environmental impact of radioactive airborne effluents released from nuclear fuel cycle facilities. It is based on the double Gaussian probability distribution function model and considers the wind pendulum effect of the long-term diffusion factor. The simulation results of the REIA 1.0 model are compared with those of the AERMOD-VIEW model and radiation environmental monitoring results of nuclear fuel cycle facilities. The results are: using the REIA 1.0 and AERMOD-VIEW models, the relative deviations of simulation results are less than 33.33% in 192 subregions. Except for three points, the relative deviations are less than 20%, the simulated results are consistent with the radiation environmental monitoring results in seven sites using the REIA 1.0 model, and the REIA 1.0 model can characterize the incremental contribution of radionuclide concentration in the air caused by the radioactive airborne effluents from nuclear fuel cycle facilities. It can effectively assess the radiological environmental impact of nuclear fuel cycle facilities.
