Abstract: This paper introduces the calculation model and method of public doses caused by the discharge of airborne effluents and liquid effluents. Key exposure pathways, key nuclides, collective effective doses within 80 km of the nuclear power plant, and the normalized emissions of effluents in each year were analyzed, and were compared with the relevant standard requirements. The results show that: According to the data analysis and accounting of the Environmental Monitoring and Evaluation Annual Report and the Radiation Dose Impact Evaluation Report of the Nuclear Power Plant, the public dose caused by the radioactive effluent discharge from the nuclear power plant is far below the national standard, the environmental impact report and the annual emission limit approved by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. The annual effluent discharge has little impact on the surrounding public.

Key words: nuclear power plant, effluent, public dose
