Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of radioactive pollutant migration and diffusion assessment, and in particular relates to a surface water environment dose calculation module for nuclear accident consequence assessment. Background Art
[0002] The leakage of nuclear facilities will cause a large amount of radioactive substances to enter the environment, including the terrestrial environment and the aquatic environment. Although terrestrial pollutants are more likely to come into contact with humans, causing a series of internal and external exposures such as inhalation and skin contact, the radionuclides present in water bodies enter the human body through drinking water, aquatic products, and water and shore activities, which will also bring a dose burden that cannot be ignored. At present, there is no systematic modeling in China for the prediction of dose distribution after the migration and diffusion of radionuclides in surface water after the accident, and the relevant content of the dose distribution calculation method is not perfect. Daily emission monitoring around nuclear facilities can only ensure that the waters are not polluted under normal operation. Once an emergency such as a nuclear accident or leakage occurs, effective methods are needed to respond. Therefore, it is particularly important to establish an evaluation model for the migration and diffusion of radioactive pollutants in the water environment and to estimate the dose that the human body may receive in different exposure pathways based on the concentration results.
