Dose and cost considerations for relocation after nuclear accidents.
The results of a comprehensive study of the dose and cost considerations for relocation after nuclear accidents are presented in this paper. These results include the quantification of the dependence of area affected by relocation on dose intervention level and source term, the countermeasures implementation cost-benefit estimate, as well as the application of cost-benefit analysis to optimize the dose intervention level for relocation. In order to explicitly consider the distribution of individual dose among the exposed population to determine the optimal dose intervention level for relocation, the concept of individual dose evaluation function has been introduced in the present work.
