Cross-Border Transport During Small Discharges of Radioactive Substances into the Atmosphere

The results of modeling of cross-border transport during small discharges of radioactive substances into the atmosphere are presented. The modeling is performed for the example of the April 2013 radiation incident in Elektrostal. It is shown that aerosol particles containing 137 Cs did not significa...

Description
Summary:The results of modeling of cross-border transport during small discharges of radioactive substances into the atmosphere are presented. The modeling is performed for the example of the April 2013 radiation incident in Elektrostal. It is shown that aerosol particles containing 137 Cs did not significantly affect the radiation conditions on the territory of the European part of our country and the Scandinavian countries.
