Monitoring and regulating radioactive emissions from nuclear power plants is important for evaluating and managing the associated radiological risks to humans and the environment. Radioactive emissions can occur during different stages of nuclear power generation, posing concerns about exposure to ionizing radiation. Modeling, particularly using advanced simulation techniques, is a crucial tool for assessing both routine and accidental emissions. This work assesses the potential environmental and radiological impacts of radioactive emissions from the Laguna Verde nuclear power plant (Veracruz, México) using the CALPUFF model for dispersion and the ERICA tool for ecological risk assessment. Normal operations simulations showed that the higher concentrations and ground depositions were observed in Veracruz. The probability of exceeding screening doses was acceptably low (<5%), indicating minimal cancer risk from controlled releases. During nuclear accidents, dispersed plumes were observed with varying directions depending on wind speed. The study identified potential risks to five designated cities as receptor sites, with some plume sweeps diverting pollutants. The most affected receptor site (Veracruz) recorded the highest air concentrations, depositions, and radiation doses. These findings offer valuable insights for regulators, decision-makers, and the public, emphasizing low impacts from controlled releases but highlighting potential risks during nuclear accidents.
