Abstract

In this research, the analysis methodology for Kuosheng BWR/6 nuclear power plant (NPP) decommissioning is established by using NRCDose3 code. NRCDose3 code includes XOQDOQ, GASPAR II, and LADTAP II programs that can assess atmospheric dispersion factor, gaseous radioactive effluents and offsite doses, and liquid radioactive releases and offsite doses, respectively. Therefore, this analysis methodology of NRCDose3 assesses the offsite doses of the gaseous radioactive effluents and liquid radioactive releases for Kuosheng NPP decommissioning. According to the analysis results, the results of NRCDose3 are consistent with Kuosheng NPP data.
