Abstract
An Environmental Impact Assessment of the site nuclear power plant is needed to predict the consequences of a hypothetical accident and evaluate the suitable protection or mitigation actions for an emergency plan. The analytical model considers a useful tool to forecast the impacts of the process of the accidents. The selected radiological risk assessment codes were being used for making dose projections for water and atmospheric releases during radiological emergencies. That hazard is location-specific ever after it is associated with the radiation dosage that is an action function of dimension from a radiation source.
The accident simulation consequence, and radiological risk assessment codes output results, were inter-as an input to accurate Impact Assessment for two different cooling water systems where constructing an analytical map of the radiation hazardous zone. GIS tools are used to determine evacuation areas and routes. The total amount of radioactivity released into the cooling water and atmosphere will be calculated using different radiological risk assessment codes where the maximum size of approximately a radius of 5 km from the NPP. It was observed that the maximum extent of the zone, at universal criteria 100 mSv was about 8 Km. The maximum evacuation and shelter zones are about 8 Km and 18 Km respectively.
