Abstract

In case of a nuclear power plant accident radionuclides emitted into the atmosphere imply a great risk, because this agent cannot be confined between boundaries and the contamination cannot be separated and collected. Therefore it is vital to predict the path of the contamination in the atmosphere in order to be able to take instant countermeasures in case of a nuclear power plant accident. In this paper we present different simulations for determining the path of the radioactive contamination.
