137Cs ocean distribution and fate at East Mediterranean Sea in case of a nuclear accident in Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant

Evolutionary analysis of Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge events considering the impact of participants' emotions

“…Numerous studies have confirmed that the radioactive substances contained in nuclear wastewater pose a great threat to the natural environment on which humans depend and to their own health (Clifford & Zhang, 1994;Dufresne et al, 2018). Normile (2021) stated that unlike other radioisotopes with significant risks, such as 131 I, 236 U, 240 P, 137 Cs (Cléro et al, 2021;Tims et al, 2016;Tsabaris et al, 2021), the large amount of 3 H contained in nuclear wastewater from the FDNPP is more hazardous. Currently, approximately 1PBq 3 H is stored in storage tanks at FDNPP (de With et al, 2021).…”

Design of an Interactive Cellular System for the Remote Operation of Ocean Sensors: A Pilot Study Integrating Radioactivity Sensors

“…In order to monitor the pathways of released radionuclides into coastal zones in a spatial and temporal manner, it is necessary to set up smart and effective detection systems that can be deployed in selected areas, and/or integrated in existing marine fixed and mobile stations. The selected areas and pathways to which in-situ measurement would be applied are defined using hydrodynamic models that simulate ocean circulation predicting the pathways of radionuclides [12].…”

Assessment of marine radiological impact after an hypothetical nuclear accident in Eastern Mediterranean Sea

“…More specifically, the recently contracted Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) at the coastal region of Akkuyu, South Turkey, is expected to start its operation in 2023 with one of the total 4 water-water energetic reactors of 1200 MW (VVER1200) electricity generation capacity [10]. To this end, a basin scale 3-D hydrodynamic model coupled with a Lagrangian particle drift model was developed to investigate the dispersion and fate of key radionuclides released from a hypothetical accident and how this will affect the neighboring marine regions [11][12]. In order to include radioactive pollutants typically traced after an accident in nuclear facilities covering a wide range of radioactive half-lives, chemical behavior in the seawater and radioecological characteristics, the dispersion of 137 Cs, 131 I and 238 Pu was simulated after an instant accidental release into the surrounding marine area of Akkuyu NPP.…”
