Book Description
The Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Program has as one of its objectives to assess the movement of nuclides using modelling techniques to calculate the radiological dose to humans and concentrations of contaminants in the environment. To achieve these goals, a biosphere model, comprising four submodels, was developed. This report describes the atmosphere submodel and the pathways through which nuclides may move through the atmosphere. The model describes the processes of nuclide suspension, dispersion, and deposition. Surface water and soil are considered as primary sources of nuclide fluxes to the atmosphere. The model considers natural phenomena such as wind erosion of soil, forest fires, gaseous emissions from soil, and bubble bursting at lake surfaces. Anthropogenic processes, such as wood burning for energy, are also modelled, and nuclide concentrations in both outdoor and indoor air are calculated. The model combines a variety of techniques, including mass loading concepts, flux density estimates, numerical dispersion models, and specific-activity relationships. The model is probabilistic, with transport modelled using simple mass transfer equations and variability incorporated by distributing values for parameters. This report documents the model equations, the parameter values, and comparisons of pathways.

Biosphere model for the interim assessment of the Canadian concept for nuclear fuel waste disposal

ISBN:
Category : Environmental impact analysis
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
This report highlights many of the key achievements of the biosphere program in support of the development of the disposal concept for Canadian nuclear fuel waste, particularly those achievements related to the development of the BIOTRAC biosphere model and its supporting research. That model was used for the assessment and review of the disposal concept in an environmental impact statement (EIS). The report also treats highlights related to alternative models, external scientific/technical reviews, EIS feedback, and the international BIOMOVS model validation program. Furthermore, it highlights basic aspects of future modelling and research needs in relation to siting a disposal facility, taking into account feedback from the various reviews and the EIS. Appendices include listings of key staff involved, all the scientific/technical reports produced, contracts let to outside agencies, and issues raised during the EIS review.
