Abstract
The article presents the analysis of the data on radionuclide composition of airborne discharges of 52 European nuclear power plants (NPPs) with water–water energetic reactor facilities (WWER), pressurized water reactor facilities (PWR), and boiling water reactor facilities (BWR) under normal operation conditions. It contains lists of radionuclides, registered in discharges of researched NPPs, and gives estimation of contributions of radionuclides, forming the discharge, into total activity of discharge and into total effective dose, created by the discharge activity. It was determined that the maximal contribution into discharge activity of all researched NPPs make noble gases, tritium, and carbon-14, while the latter is the main dose-making radionuclide.
