  • Abstract

    An attempt has been made in the work to assess radiological dose due to the deposition of 131I, 132I, 133I, 134I, and 135I on ground, vegetation, milk and meat considering a hypothetical accident of TRIGA Mark-II research reactor at AERE, Savar. Contribution of dose from ingestion of vegetation due to 131I has been found to be dominant (62.96%). Also found that contribution of 132I from immersion is higher (53.67%) and contribution of 133I in meat is higher (45.64%). The contribution due to 134I in both from immersion (46.13%) and from ground deposition (47.19%) was dominant while the contribution of 135I from ground deposition (30.11%), inhalation (26.77%) and immersion (25.92%) were higher. Final result says that the vegetation is the dominant contributor (66.91%) for iodine.
