Long-range transport and deposition analyses of 137Cs following a hypothetical incident at Gösgen nuclear power plant are studied by using CALMET-CALPUFF model system. Comparisons are performed with results obtained from a version modified of CALPUFF using a new dry deposition velocity model. This model is based on a combination of aerodynamic resistances and considers local features of the mutual influence of inertial impact and turbulent processes. The results show that the modified CALPUFF code seems to be an appropriate tool for performing impact assessments on long-range transport in complex terrain contexts or to support preparedness and response capabilities for nuclear and radiological accidents.

Abstract
Long-range transport and deposition analyses of 137Cs following a hypothetical incident at Gösgen nuclear power plant are studied by using CALMET-CALPUFF model system. Comparisons are performed with results obtained from a version modified of CALPUFF using a new dry deposition velocity model. This model is based on a combination of aerodynamic resistances and considers local features of the mutual influence of inertial impact and turbulent processes. The results show that the modified CALPUFF code seems to be an appropriate tool for performing impact assessments on long-range transport in complex terrain contexts or to support preparedness and response capabilities for nuclear and radiological accidents.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
