Environment and Fuel Cycle Chemistry studies

The primary objective of the environment and fuel chemistry studies is to carry out the chemistry related R&D activities to support the safety objectives of AERB pertaining to the nuclear reactor, fuel cycle processes, environment etc.

Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling
  • Atmospheric dispersion pertaining to complex terrain and also site consisting multiple units / facilities.
  • Deployment of highly conservative models such as Gaussian Plume Models to advanced dispersion models are employed for the purpose.
  • Numerical Weather Prediction mathematical models for weather forecasting and the developed meteorological parameters as vital inputs for running dispersion models.
  • Boundary layer measurements and theoretical study of processes occurring in the PBL over homogenous, heterogeneous and complex hilly terrain.
