ORION-II; A Computer code to estimate environmental concentration and dose due to airborne release of radioactive material

Shinohara, Kunihiko*; Asano, Tomohiro; Narita, Osamu

A computer code ORION-II has been developed to estimate environmental concentration and dose due to airborne release of radioactive material from multiple sources of nuclear fuel cycle facilities. The modified Gaussian plume model is applied to calculate atmospheric dispersion. The plume depletion models such as gravitational settling, dry deposition, precipitation scavenging and radioactive decay are considered as the causes of the depletion and deposition on the ground and vegetation. Dose to the public is calculated as an individual dose. Inhalation and oral intake are considered as internal pathways. Submersion in the radioactive cloud and external exposure to ground surface contamination are considered as external pathways. ORION-II is the updated version of ORION code (PNCT N841-83-42) and is appricable to the case study of environmental assessment for the nuclear fuel cycle facilities. ORION-II is written in FORTRAN-IV language and can be run on IBM 360, 370, 303X, 308X, 43XX, and FACOM M-series computers.
