Abstract:
Romania develops nuclear energy using CANDU 6 (CANadian Deuterium Uranium) reactors, which have a high tritium load. Tritium, once in the environment, is very mobile and can be effectively incorporated into the biological systems. It is well known that the tritium modelling is different than that for the other contaminants. Nowadays, it is obvious that the nuclear safety must be enhanced in each country, following the recent request from European Community (EC), International Committee for Radiological Protection (ICRP) and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). IFIN-HH is internationally recognized for its experience in tritium modelling and leads a working group dedicated to “Tritium” Accidents in the frame of IAEA Environmental Modelling for Radiation Safety (EMRAS) programme.
The project proposes the development of an interdisciplinary, physical-mathematical, biochemical and physiological model of the dynamic interactions between tritium (as HTO) in atmosphere and soil (from where tritium once emitted, enters straight into the life cycle) and biosphere - crops (and animals), using the recent results from the life sciences, radioecology, and agricultural research, together with the associated data base and computer codes. The intention is to keep an optimal ratio between the complexity of the modelled processes and the limits of the practical knowledge, with a reliable predictive power in order to be applied in practice.
