Description

A set of radwaste treatement systems are evaluated for PWRs during normal operation on the basis of their costs and the number of avoided health effects. French systems presently in operation are included in the study. The different steps of the method (assessment of released quantities, environmental transport and resulting collective doses and health effects) are presented. Results are discussed in the general framework -recommended by the International Commission for Radiological Protection- of cost-benefit analysis

Abstract (French)

On presente l'evaluation, en termes de cout et d'effets sanitaires evites, des systemes de protection radiologique envisageables pour proteger le public contre les rejets radioactifs d'une centrale nucleaire en fonctionnement normal. Les principales etapes de cette evaluation reposent sur un ensemble de modeles simulant les interactions caracteristiques des systemes physiques et biologiques impliques (quantites de radionucleides rejetes, dispersion dans l'environnement, doses aux populations, effets sanitaires radio-induits). Les divers systemes de protection etudies, parmi lesquels figurent ceux actuellement en service sur les reacteurs francais, sont compares a la lumiere d'une analyse de type cout-benefice comme le recommande la Commission Internationale de Protection Radiologique
