Abstract: Airborne radionuclides released from nuclear power plant after accidents can be deposited on the ground. Ground exposures can become an important part of offsite public exposure. The projected public doses of 60Co, 137Cs and 90Sr, resulted from ground exposures are evaluated in this paper, including external exposure from ground shine and inhalation of resuspended material with radionuclides physical removal and resuspension processes considered.

Key words: nuclear power plant, nuclear accident, radionuclides, ground exposures
