Abstract | To understand the spatial distribution of C-14 discharged from Qinshan nuclear power plant, where two HWRs and four PWRs are on commercial operation, simulation using Gaussian plume model was carried out. The predicted values were compared with the measured C-14 results of moss samples collected in 2010. A good fit was found between these two data sets, indicating that the spatial distribution of C-14 follows a Gaussian model. It can be concluded that HWRs are the dominant C-14 sources at Qinshan site and meteorological influences is the leading factor affecting the distribution of C-14. |
