核素迁移现场试验的辐射环境影响评价

本文简述了核素迁移现场试验中对辐射环境安全的基本考虑、环境质量监测结果和试验结束后污染土壤的回收结果。监测结果表明 ,试验场周围辐射环境质量未因试验活动引起可察觉的变化 ,试验未对环境造成污染。示踪核素 60 Co、13 4Cs的回收率均超过 99.99%。回收后 ,天然条件下的试验坑内残留的 3 H将保持在浅层土壤内 ,经蒸发逐渐进入大气 ;喷淋条件下的试验坑内残留的 3 H将保持在深层土壤内 ,在全部衰变前不会进入含水层。 85Sr在回收前已几乎全部衰变。回收的污染土壤运回本院用于放射生态学实验研究。试验现场土壤中残留的核素 ,无论总量还是浓度 ,都远低于《国际电离辐射防护和辐射源安全的基本安全标准》中给出的相应的豁免值

RADIATION ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF FIELD RADIONUCLIDE MIGRATION TEST

A field radionuclide migration test was carried out under natural and sprinkling conditions at CIRP's Field Test Site. Environment monitoring results indicated that the test did not cause any change of radiation environment quality in and around the test area. After test, contaminated soil in each test pits was retrieved and transported back in CIRP for other research work. All recovery rates of 60 Co, 134 Cs in each test pits is more than 99.99%. After recovery, residual 3H in former natural test pits is kept in shallow soil and subjected to be evaporated into atmosphere; residual 3H in other test pits after stopping sprinkling is kept in deep position of aerated zone and can not reach aquiter before fully decay. Since its short half life, 85 Sr had nearly fully decayed when the test was finished. Retrieving contaminated soil eliminates possibility of any incidents in future. It is concluded from the point of both total amount and concentrations, that residual radionuclides at the field test site can not cause any unacceptable effect on human and the environment. (
