Abstract

In this study, ARGOS software was used to simulate the atmospheric radioactive emissions from Fangchenggang nuclear power plant to Viet Nam. The simulated cases are hypothetical accidents with hypothetical source terms equivalent to level 6 of the International Nuclear and radiological Event Scale (INES). The results show the possibility of using ARGOS in simulating atmospheric dispersion, assessing radiation dose to humans from the Fangchenggang nuclear power plant accident to Viet Nam in some accident situations. Furthermore, the obtained results contribute to forecasting and supporting emergency response when an accident occurs in nuclear power plants.
