Abstract

Northeast Asia has a high density area of nuclear power plants and recognizes the need for crisis management from radioactive accidents due to actual nuclear power plant. When a radioactive exposure accident occurs, the cesium in the radionuclide has a long half-life and is released into the atmosphere, and it can move through the wind. We need to be able to analyze the effects of deposition by fallout on the water system in our country, along with transport and diffusion from the atmosphere in order to accurately predict radioactive materials. In addition, we can be decided pollution levels in watersheds and rivers by using an environmental multimedia model about the phenomena of transport through air, watershed and rivers. Therefore, it can be predicted and controlled with the whole process of radioactive accident using the result of this study as a crisis management technique.
