Real-time simulation of accidental passive transport of radioactive pollutant from a proposed nuclear power plant

In this study, a local scale atmospheric dispersion problem, considering a hypothetical accidental release (1 Bq s −1 of I-131) from a nuclear power plant is simulated with a combination of weather forecasting and particle dispersion codes on a multiprocessor computer system. The meteorological parameters are predicted with a weather research and forecasting (WRF) model and used in Lagrangian particle dispersion model ...
