Abstract
A long-range atmospheric dispersion model named LADAS has been developed to understand the characteristics of the transport and diffusion of radioactive materials released into atmosphere. The developed numerical model for validation was compared with the results of the ETEX which is the long-range field tracer experiment. As a comparative study, the calculated concentration distributions agreed well in the case of the usage of the mixing heights calculated by the Richardson number than the usage of the constant mixing heights in LADAS model. Also, the calculated concentrations agreed with the time series of the measured ones at some sampling points.
