A nuclear power station is situated in Coal Valley, which is a roughly rectangular valley that is 5 km long, 2 km wide, and 200 m deep. You have been asked to evaluate the effects of a worst-case scenario where the reactor housing fails, and radiation is released to the atmosphere. In your evaluation, you determine that 120 kg of Iodine-131 (a radioisotope that causes thyroid gland and liver damage) could be released into the atmosphere. Assuming the release of Iodine-131 was very rapid and all of it was uniformly distributed through the valley’s atmosphere with none escaping the valley, what would the concentration of Iodine-131 be in the valley’s air? Your answer should be expressed in units of ppm(v), and you may assume an atmospheric pressure of 1.0 atm and a temperature of 20oC. 2. Assuming the Iodine-131 concentration you calculated in part (a) is the initial concentration in the valley, you now want to determine the time it will take for the concentration to decrease to…
