In this study, ARGOS software was used to simulate the atmospheric radioactive emissions from Fangchenggang nuclear power plant to Viet Nam. The simulated cases are hypothetical accidents with hypothetical source terms equivalent to level 6 of the International Nuclear and radiological Event Scale (INES). The results show the possibility of using ARGOS in simulating atmospheric dispersion, assessing radiation dose to humans from the Fangchenggang nuclear power plant accident to Viet Nam in some accident situations. Furthermore, the obtained results contribute to forecasting and supporting emergency response when an accident occurs in nuclear power plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
