Abstract
Cesium-137 is one of the more important radionuclides in the environment because it is relatively abundant, it has a moderately long half-life (~30 y), its decay produces highly penetrating gamma radiation in addition to beta particles, and its biogeochemical properties allow it to move readily through food chains. It is a radioactive isotope of cesium which is formed as one of the more common fission product by the nuclear fission of uranium-235 and other fissionable isotopes in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
In this reseach a model is introduced that could simulate a nuclear accident, its distribution into air, deposition into soil and absorption by plant. Nuclear accident and...
