“…Affecting upstream of drinking water sources should be avoided under both normal circumstances and accidents. The tritium concentrations were measured in drainage systems at Tokaimura NPP in Japan by Miyamoto et al, (2002). Basri et al, (2016) investigated the dispersion and dilution capabilities and potential contamination pathways of the groundwater environment under operating and accident conditions with respect to present and future uses of water sources.…”

As an emerging means of energy supply, small modular reactors (SMRs) are considered as a promising option for relieving environmental pressure caused by increasing fossil fuel consumption. Since SMRs are at an early stage of development, in-depth analysis on the necessity and feasibility of their deployment is essential. The site selection of SMRs, which is a multifaceted process and should be guided by a clearly established set of criteria, is a crucial step. To propose comprehensive recommendations for SMR site selection, a review is provided in this study. The review involves development process, technical characteristics and potential applications of SMRs, research status of SMR site selection, and criteria for site selection of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Different considerations of siting criteria between SMRs and NPPs are analyzed. Based on the review and analyses, perspectives and targeted suggestions on SMR site selection are provided.

“…The Specific Activity Ratio (SAR) is defined as the ratio between SA of OBT in the animal and SA of HTO in water. Previous work defined values of SAR and other transfer factors for different aquatic organisms from European rivers (Galeriu et al, 2009;Gontier and Siclet, 2011;Galeriu and Melintescu, 2010;Fontugneet al, 2005;Franco et al, 2006;Gleizon et al, 2009;Heling and Bezhenar, 2009;Howard et al, 2012;IAEA, 2008;Melintescu and Galeriu, 2011;Miyamoto et al, 2002). These values should not be used to tropical organisms without significant increasing in the uncertainty of model results.…”
