RADIATION DOSE ASSESSMENT FOR REPRESENTATIVE BIOTA ORGANISMS IN THE LOCALE OF NPP WITH VVER-1200

摘要

A prognosis is made of the radiation impact of planned atmospheric emissions and liquid discharges from NPP with VVER-1200 on native ecosystems. The ERICA assessment tool was used to assess the dose loads for ICRP-recommended representative organisms. The expected irradiation dose from NPP for representatives of the biota is compared with the dose from the existing irradiation, evaluated on the basis of radioecological inspection in the locale of power plants in Kaliningrad region. The dose loads on the biota are expected to be below the threshold levels of irradiation. Planned emissions and discharges from the NPP will not have an appreciable impact on the native ecosystems.
