Abstract: Based on the 2014-2016 emission data of tritium from Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant (QNPP) , the specific activity model recommended by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) was used to evaluate the tritium-induced radiation dose to the public who resides near Qinshan Nuclear Power Base. The results were compared with the tritium monitoring data around Qinshan Nuclear Power Base during the same time period. The evaluated results based on tritium effluent emissions were similar to those based on environmental monitoring data and were at the same level. It is recommended that the specific activity model should be used to evaluate the public radiation dose caused by airborne tritium.

Key words: Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant, tritium, dose
