Long-Term Atmospheric Transport Model for Dispersion over Meso-Scale Areas andImplications for Individual and Collective Doses from the Disposal of Canada's Nuclear Fuel Waste

摘要

A long-term atmospheric transport model has been developed in order to estimatethe potential individual and collective dose rates from the disposal of Canada's nuclear fuel waste. The model explicitly accounts for dispersion, deposition and resuspension of nuclides cycling between the air and the underlying surface, using a set of statistical parameters.
