Abstract
An investigation on the feasibility of site selection of a 5 MW research reactor, in the south of Iran (near Shiraz), is the main objective of current research. Radioactive dose dispersion map using fallout stack model, and Annual effective dose estimation of the mentioned reactor have been the main objectives. For this purpose, the HYSPLIT code is fed by leakage fission products into the environment under normal operation of the proposed reactor as well as meteorological data. Specifically, the Annual effective dose of 16 directions and in the 55 km range around the suggested site is calculated. The received doses are analyzed for three age groups including infant age, children, and adults. Results show that the maximum dose are 0.0257 (mSv/y), 0.0267 (mSv/y) and 0.027 (mSv/y) for adults, children and infants, respectively. The calculated received doses are maximized in the direction of West North West (WNW), and at 800 m distance from the selected site, which is lower the recommended dose levels for general public of ICRP-103 (1mSv/y). For the 16 directions and in the 55 km range around the suggested site, dose is within standards.
