In this paper, a novel domestic code called KIANA was developed for the assessment of radiological impacts on the population in normal and accident conditions including design basis accident (DBA) and beyond DBA (BDBA) for the nuclear power plants. The validation process of the KIANA code was performed using the results of the DOZA_M radiological code, whose results are presented in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant Unit One (BNPP-1). The calculations of KIANA are performed based on the Gaussian diffusion model. The developed KIANA code has the potential of calculating the concentration and radionuclide doses due to the pathways such as airborne, foodstuff, marine (both one and two boxes models), soils, animals, vegetation (with and without tritium) and other pathways without any restriction. In the current research, the individual dose from a cloud to the member of the public in the region of BNPP-1 in normal condition was calculated. Moreover, the total effective dose to the member of the public from the primary to the secondary leakage inside steam generators, large break loss-of-coolant accident (LBLOCA) and small break loss-of-coolant accident was calculated. Thyroid gland equivalent dose for the infant (1-8 years) in the case of LBLOCA at the BNPP in DBA conditions was also evaluated. Finally, the prevented dose at the initial stage for the whole body of adults after BDBA, prevented dose at the initial stage for the thyroid gland of children after BDBA and the effective dose during the first year after the accident (external body irradiation from presence in the area) in the case of BDBA are assessed. The KIANA simulation results showed a good agreement with the FSAR data of BNPP.
