Prediction and Analysis of Nuclear Explosion Radioactive Pollutant Diffusion Model

This study presents a model for the dispersion of radioactive smoke clouds from a nuclear weapon explosion. A model based on a modified Settlement model is chosen to simulate the dispersion of radioactive contaminants from a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere. The arrival time and dose rate of radioactive fallout at various distances in the downwind direction are given for different equivalents of the surface explosion and typical meteorological conditions. Thus, the prediction of the dispersion of radioactive contaminants from a nuclear explosion can be achieved under the conditions of known nuclear explosion equivalence and local meteorological parameters. This provides a theoretical basis for the estimation of the affected environment and the input of rescue forces after the explosion.
