[en] The global cycling of carbon dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuels and of radiocarbon released from nuclear power facilities has been simulated using a seven-box-model. The model is built up by two boxes for the atmosphere (stratosphere, troposphere), three boxes for the ocean (mixed surface layer, deep sea and sediments), and two boxes for the biosphere (short- and long-lived biota) with non-linear troposphere-biota and troposphere-ocean surface layer exchange rates and linear fluxes between the other reservoirs. The biota growth factor, the exchange of the atmospheric CO₂ with the ocean, and the preindustrial atmospheric CO₂ content were fitted using the records of the atmospheric CO₂ concentration in Mauna Loa, the Suess-effect until 1954, and the response to the C-14 from nuclear weapons tests. The two scenarios considered are (I) annual energy growth rates of 2% and 4%, no nuclear power; (II) a upper and lower estimate of C-14 releases and a best estimate without retention and with a retention factor of four at the fuel reprocessing plants. Assuming logistic source functions for the increase of fossil fuel combustion and an exponentiel growth of nuclear power until the year 2020, the CO₂ concentration of the troposphere reaches the 2-5 fold of the preindustrial level around 2100. Simultaneously, the specific C-14 activity of the atmosphere is decreased. The individual lifetime dose commitments (70 y) are found between 0.85 and 0.45 mSv (natural values: 0.73 mSv) and the collective dose commitments until 2100 are about 10% of those due to naturally produced C-14.
