Transport Simulation of Radioactive Substances and Risk Assessment Indicators for NPP-2006 Staff

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Approaches to dynamical modeling of the emissions-concentration distribution in the COMSOL multiphysical complex and to risk assessment for the NPP staff on exposure to radiation during emergency situations are presented based on data obtained using the COMSOL software module. An aspect of these calculations is that maximum attention is given to the details of the infrastructure of the NPP industrial site; this feature makes it possible to obtain ensembles of data for analyzing and choosing characteristic scenarios of accidental exposure to radiation as well as for assessing the radiation dose and radiation risk.
