The project ranged from source term evaluation, to detailed dispersion/transport modelling and long term consequence assessment. The aims of the project included assessment of the potential for disparities and fractures in the assessment of impacts from a nuclear accident due to the implementation of systems for the estimation of dispersion of contamination and the behaviour of contaminants in the environment in years following an accident. The results of the project indicate that the main potential source of divergence in assessing the potential impacts of a nuclear accident between the countries of the Nordic region lies within the routines and procedures implemented during assessment of late phase impacts. | | Keywords: | Nuclear accident, consequence, impact assessment, dispersion, transfer | | Publication date: | 30 Dec 2015 | | ISBN: | ISBN 978-87-7893-437-6 | | Number of downloads: | 2127 | | Download: |  NKS-353.pdf |
