Abstract

Using the radiation capacity model of landscape components located in the zone of influence of the NPP and the results of the calculation of the radiation risk from human and terrestrial biota exposure, an approach was developed to determine the amount of radionuclide emission from the NPP that ensures the safe existence of terrestrial biota (ecological regulation) and humans (hygienic rationing). A conservative calculation performed for the actual emission of 137Cs from the Zaporizhzhya NPP showed that an ecologically safe level of exposure to biota organisms (mammals) located in the studied territory of the plant's monitoring zone will be ensured with an emission from the NPP almost an order of magnitude greater than for humans.
