Evaluation of derived concentration guideline levels reflecting the site-specific data for the soil of the Korea research reactor unit 1 and 2

Appl Radiat Isot. 2024 Feb 24;207:111250. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111250. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the derived concentration guideline levels for unrestricted site reuse the Korea research reactor unit 1 and 2. Distribution coefficients for Co-60 and Sr-90 were derived, and site-specific values of the KRR soil were applied for the DCGLs for the seven target nuclide. The distribution coefficients of Co-60 and Sr-90 were 6,128 and 86.0 mL/g. The DCGLs derived from the dose by age group were 0.053 Bq/g for Co-60 and 45.0 Bq/g for H-3.PMID:38457856 | DOI:10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111250
