Model-Measuring Approach to Improving Aerosol Radiation Safety Validation Mechanisms

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The mechanisms for radiation safety validation during large-scale implementation of innovative nuclear technologies in our country are examined. The influence of the physicochemical parameters of radioactive aerosols on safety is shown. A new model-measuring approach is proposed for improving the radiation safety validation mechanisms based on the integration of modern models of aerosol behavior with the means for measuring the physicochemical parameters of aerosols.
