Abstract: The opean cid eposition Model (EURAD) is used to investigate the long-range transport (LRT) and deposition of radioactive material in Europe during the first week after the Chernobyl accident. Emphasis is laid on using the model system in a forecast mode as possibly would be done shortly after such an event. Thus, meteorological fields are predicted with the PSU/NCAR mososcale model MM4.The multilayer Eulerian model CTM ( hemistry ransport ) is applied to compute transport and deposition of Cs-137 and I-131 using the predicted meteorological fields. However, the accident scenario was estimated using published data. The model results and performance are discussed by comparison with observations. It is demonstrated that the model can reproduce certain observed characteristics of the radioactive cloud, i.e. trends in surface air concentrations, arrival times and wet deposition patterns. This leads to the suggestion that the predictive capability of the EURAD-system has a relatively high level considering the fact that several simple approaches were used.

Keywords: Chernobyl accident; The Dnieper River basin; The Black Sea; 90Sr; Redistribution; Forecast; Dose assessment.
Abstract:► Regularities of change in 90Sr concentrations in the aquatic ecosystems were studied. ► Forecasts of time for 90Sr concentrations reduction to pre-accident levels were made. ► 90Sr CF values for hydrobionts did not depend on distance from the accident area. ► 90Sr is useful as a radiotracer for the chronological dating of the bottom sediments. ► Dose received by hydrobionts from 90Sr after accident period was determined.
