Atmospheric Dispersion Models

There are several kinds of models for the environmental impact assessment of atmospheric radioactive effluents from nuclear power plant. However, few of them were developed for the purpose of review. This paper focused on comparative study on atmospheric dispersion models to recommend a set of suitable models for the reviewing environmental impact assessment of the airborne radioactive effluents under normal operation. This paper introduced the standards, guidelines and according models in relation to the airborne radioactive effluents from nuclear power plant. The program of ROULEA-2.0, C-AIRDOS, and Fluidyn PANACH were applied for numerical simulation of airborne effluents dispersion from the CAP1400 nuclear power plant under normal operation. Typical nuclide such as 85Kr was analyzed and the model of C-AIRDOS was recommended as the adaptable model for the nuclear safety review in China.

Current Status

Public participation systems in environmental impact assessment started late in our country. Relevant laws, regulations, and work protocols need to be further improved. In this study, extensive research was conducted on the public participation systems in the environmental impact assessment of foreign nuclear power plants. Analyze the current status of our public participation systems were drawn from legal aspect and the aspect of implementation. Together with case analysis, main problems of public participation systems in environmental impact assessment of China’s nuclear power plant were summarized from this study: (1) delayed information disclosure; (2) the scope of public participation need to be widened; (3) interactive platforms are required for convenient and efficient public participations instead of a single participation approach; (4) timely response to the platforms and more supervision over the participation systems are desired. Solutions to each problem are proposed to help develop relative regulations and the implementation of these regulations.

Introduction. This paper sets out to justify the application of an innovative methodology for determining the rate of the tectonic fault activity of a rocky base using complex radon measurements under the conditions of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), Turkey. Materials and methods. The information contained in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) chapters and sections relevant to both the site tectonics and methods for measuring radon in soil and groundwater was scrutinised. In addition, the experience of analogues studies in the Republic of Turkey was studied. Results. An analysis of experimental results enabled identification of individual subsoil areas of increased radon activity across the site under investigation. Additional comprehensive studies at the NPP site are recommended in combination with planned work aimed at clarifying the engineering and geological conditions regarding specific NPP buildings and structures (ED stage). Conclusions. The proposed additional studies are expected to provide a more comprehensive seismic protection of the NPP units under construction, thus enabling a long-term trouble-free operation of the completed NPP buildings and structures. In the framework of subsoil monitoring at the Akkuyu NPP, regulations on the application of the proposed methodology should be introduced in job descriptions. This technique appears to be prospective for seismic monitoring in other NPP sites located in areas with increased seismicity.
