Abstract: The predominant radionuclide is 14C in the public dose assessment by liquid release pathway in Chinese coastal nuclear power plants. So, it is very critical to properly evaluate 14C concentration in aquatic biota. In this paper, based on carbon content in seawater and aquatic biota, concentration factors of 14C in aquatic biota were recommended that can be used in Chinese coastal nuclear power plants.

Key words: nuclear power plants, 14C, aquatic biota, concentration factors
