ABSTRACT

In order to develop a food-chain computer code suitable to the environmental conditions of Korea, the FOOD III code was partially modified. The excution results for Korean male-adult were compared to those from the Canadian version of FOOD III to deduce a more realistic approach in dose assessment. The amounts of Mn-54, Co-58, Co-60, I-131 and I-132 released from Kori unit 1 in1984 were used as the source terms for the sample calculation. The maximum atmospheric dispersion factor(X/Q) value on the site boundary was applied. Through the code modification, organ doses decreased by about $20{sim}70%$ and the effective committed dose equivalent by about 40% to be $7.935{times}10^{-6}Sv/y$ which is 0.16% of the ICRP limit, $5{times}10^{-3}Sv/y$.
