“…Those values are consistent with those determined on other site where tritium releases are occurring (Gautam et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2000;Patra et al, 2008). Based on tritium released activity data for 2006 the atmospheric dilution factor is also calculated using mean annual observed meteorological data and the code GASCON (Monfort et al, 2010).…”

This study presents the results of systematic experiments on tritium ( 3 H) concentrations in ground level air against those in rainwater near a pressurized heavy water reactor in a tropical region. The samples were collected over the rainy season of year 2011 from eight locations in the environment around Narora Atomic Power Station. The specific activity ratio of 3 H between rainwater and air moisture at ground level was calculated for each data set. The average specific activity ratio was found to be ranged from 0.12 to 1.1. A correlation ( 2 = 0.62 to 0.76, < 0.001) was observed between the total rain hours in a day and the rainwater 3 H activity. Higher rain duration with slower rain rate yielded higher 3 H concentrations as more time was available for the scavenging/wash-out process to take effect together with lower dilution. Annual tritium (HTO) wet deposition has been measured and calculated for the year 2011 within 0.8 km distance from 145 m high stack of Narora Atomic Power Station (NAPS) at nine locations in different directions. The range of deposition velocity, (m⋅s −1 ), at nine locations for the years 2011 is found to be from 4.43E − 04 to 6.42E − 03. The average value for wet deposition velocity for NAPS site is estimated as 3.17E − 03 m⋅s −1 .
