Abstract

Radioactive materials are released into the air and deposited on the surface soil after a nuclear accident. Radionuclides deposited in soil are transported by precipitation to nearby environments and contaminate the surface water system. Basic data on surface watershed and soil erosion models have been collected and analyzed to evaluate the behavior of radionuclides deposited on surface soil after a nuclear accident. Data acquisition and analysis in aquatic environment were performed to investigate the physical characteristics and variation of biota in rivers and lakes of the Nakdong river area near the Wolsong nuclear power plant. For these purposes, a digital map, and hydrological, water quality and biota data were gathered and a systematic database (DB) was constructed in connection with them. Constructed aquatic DB will be supplied and used in surface watershed and soil erosion models for investigation of long-term movement of radionuclides in adsorptive form in surface soil. Finally, basic data and established models will be utilized for general radiological impact assessment in aquatic environment.

원자력 사고 후 대기로 누출된 방사성물질이 지표 토양내 침적된 후 강우에 의하여 주변 환경으로 이동하여 지표수계를 오염시킨다. 지표 토양내 침적된 방사성핵종의 거동 평가를 위하여 수립된 지표 수계 및 토양 유실 모델의 주요 입력자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 월성 원전이 위치한 낙동강권역의 하천과 호수에서의 물리적 특성과 주요 생물상의 변화를 파악하기 위해서 원전 주변 수생 환경의 조사 및 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 국내 여러 기관에서 제공하는 수치지도, 수문자료, 수질 및 생태환경자료 등을 수집 분석하여 자료간 상호 연계성을 갖도록 체계적인 DB를 구축하였다. 구축된 수생환경 자료는 지표수계에 흡착된 방사성물질의 중장기 거동 평가를 위하여 수립된 지표수계 유동, 토사유실 및 생태계 모델의 기본 입력자료로 제공되어 종합적인 방사선영향평가에 활용될 예정이다.
