Abstract:
Objective To develop the software for the assessment of radionuclide concentration and doses from atmospheric dispersion. Methods Based on procedures for radionuclide atmospheric dispersion and dose assessment in IAEA publications (safety series reports No. 19), a parameter database was constructed using Microsoft Access, and the dispersion model and dose assessment methods were computerized using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, then we got the dose assessment software for radionuclide atmospheric dispersion. Results Atmospheric radionuclide concentration and public effective dose in a year could be estimated rapidly with the present software. Conclusion The present software provides a practical and rapid tool for evaluation and assessment the influence of radionuclide atmospheric dispersion, which can be used in the evaluation of atmospheric radionuclide concentration in routine monitoring or nuclides/radiological emergency, and also can be used as the screening evaluation in environmental surveillance.
