A Study on Radiological Hazard Assessment for Jordan Research and Training Reactor

Numerical simulations of atmospheric dispersion and dose assessment were performed for the Jordan Research Training Reactor (JRTR) to evaluate its radiological effects on surrounding population environment. A three-dimensional model was applied investigate behavior radionuclides released into air, a used estimate impact residing in nearby cities around JRTR. Considering full core meltdown an accidental scenario, most source term assumed be from Simulations calculate air deposition concentrations radioactive materials July 2013 January 2014. The monthly averaged values concentrations, depositions, rates analyzed identify harmful each month. results showed that relatively occurred 2014, total annual rate estimated approximately 1 mSv outside 10 km radius However, nuclear accident is not as severe it might seem, affected area highly populated, appropriate protective measures can significantly reduce radiation exposure. This study provides useful information emergency preparedness response planning mitigate consequences at
