Methodology for comparative assessment of various electricity generation systems using health and environmental impacts as the indicators

Takahara, Shogo  ; Matsuki, Yoshio*; Homma, Toshimitsu; Muramatsu, Ken

This report describes the procedure and the results of the comparative risk assessment which are implemented using the Impact Pathway Approach. This approach is known as a popular method and characterized as the methodology that considers the emissions from the emission sources, the dispersions of those pollutants, and then the impacts to the recipients of the pollutants. This approach was examined at the CRP of the IAEA. Upon the results of the assessments made by the CRP and the Extern E, it is concluded that the impacts of the fossil fuel chains are relatively larger than of the other fuel chains, especially when the secondary chemical transformation of the pollutants and the effects of global warming are considered. On the contrary, the impacts of nuclear fuel chains are smaller than of the fossil fuel chains'. We still needs for further studies on the risks of the severe accidents and on the impacts of long-lived radio-nuclides spreading on the global level.
