Abstract

To ensure the safety of the currently operating nuclear power plant, the Periodic Safety Review program has been conducted. In PSR program, the cumulative behavior of the radionuclide that might be released from the power plant is addressed. The Cs-137 in soil around Kori nuclear power plant was investigated. The soil sample was analyzed and compared with the reference area. The model calculation explained the depth profile of Cs-137.
