ABSTRACT
A program for off-site dose calculation due to liquid effluents generated from the operation of nuclear facilities, which are located in inland area, was developed in consideration of Korean agricultural and environmental conditions. A serial of studies were conducted for successful accomplishment : 1) establishment of potential exposure pathways, 2) establishment of mathematical models for relevant pathways, and 3) selection of site-specific input parameters. Using the developed program, the test runs for nuclear fuel fabrication facilities were conducted. As a result, the ingestion of irrigated agricultural products was the highest contributor among considered exposure pathways. Child was a critical age group for effective dose, and bone was a critical organ.
