Zukünftige radioaktive Umweltbelastung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland durch Radionuklide aus kerntechnischen Anlagen im Normalbetrieb
Based on important gaseous and liquid radioactive effluents, mainly H 3, Kr 85 , I 129 , I 131 and Xe 133, from modern nuclear power plants and corresponding reprocessing plants and aprediction of the nuclear power plant capacity expansion over a period of approximately 100 years the future radiation exposure is examined. In the studies the local and regional radiation exposure due to waste air as well as the potential radiation exposure due to liquid effluents into running waters and their use for drinking water purpose s are involved. The global effects are dealt with. The results are compared to the variation of the natural radiation exposure of the population in the Federal Republic of Germany. There is evidence, that the future additional radiation dose will be within the limits of the fluctuation of the natural radiation exposure if it is possible to retain the nuclides H 3 and Kr 85 at a rate of about 90 % to 99 % and iodine at a rate of about 99 % to 99.8 % in the first great reprocessing plants
