In this study, following a severe accident at Kozloduy nuclear plant in Bulgaria how Turkey would be affected was investigated. The severe accident refers to core meltdown accident with catastrophic failure of containment. The model used is HySPLIT model developed in America. The worst day was predicted considering deposition of radionuclides. For initial runs, accidental release of I-131 and Cs-137 radionuclides was modeled for each day of year 2000 to find the worst day, seen to result from release beginning on April 7th 2000. After modeling release of all radionuclides for the worst day, radiation dose at different receptors, 12 most populated cities over Turkey has been calculated via different pathways. Late effects, fatal cancer, non-fatal cancer and hereditary risks, has been investigated for these receptors. The mostly affected part of Turkey was Marmara region and fatal cancer risk therein was 7x10-2 %. The collective health risk throughout Turkey was approximately 20 600 people. The same approach was then applied for investigating health risk of proposed nuclear reactor at Akkuyu, Turkey. In this case, the worst day was resulted from release beginning on 21st of February 2000. The worst affected part was the narrow strip in Central Anatolia extending to the north-eastern cost and fatal cancer risk in this region was 3.4x10-1 %. The collective health risk over Turkey was approximately 30 600 people. The results showed that Kozloduy nuclear plant has dominating effect throughout Turkey, but proposed Akkuyu reactor affects very limited region.

A modeling study for the health risk posed by the nuclear power plant in Bulgaria in different parts of Turkey
ÜNVER, ÖZGE; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2004-01-01)
In this study, effects of potential accidents at the Kozloduy nuclear power plant (NPP) in Bulgaria and that of the NPP at Akkuyu, which will be located on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, were investigated using numerical modeling. The approach used in the study was to choose an accident day in the ideal year 2000, which would result in the highest radionuclide deposition over Turkey. A comprehensive modeling was performed for that particular day. A potential accident in the worst case scenario resulted in...
A Sensitivity study for probabilictic seismic hazard assessment of Sinop nuclear power plant site
Yılar, Erkan; Gülerce, Zeynep; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Earthquake Studies (2014)
Based on the studies conducted for more than 40 years, Sinop is chosen as one of the three most convenient places in Turkey to construct a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). The objective of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of the design ground motions for Sinop NPP Site to the seismic source characterization and ground motion prediction models within the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) framework. This study introduces significant improvements over the previous seismic hazard studies conduct...
An Investigation of the Applicability of the In-situ Thermal Recovery Technique to the Beypazari Oil Shale
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01)
In this research, a 3-D reservoir model for steam recovery was used to study Beypazari oil shale. In addition, the reaction kinetics parameters of Beypazari oil shale were determined by using the Weijdema's reaction kinetics approach in order to evaluate the applicability of these thermal methods. In the analysis of reaction kinetics experiments, two different temperature regions were observed. In the time versus temperature graph, linearly increasing the temperature zone was considered to be the fuel depos...
A study on the effects of various combustion parameters on the mineral composition of Tuncbilek fly ash
Akin, Suleyman Sener; Magalhaes, Duarte; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01)
This study investigated the mineral composition and morphology of ash obtained from laboratory equipment and power plant fly ash from a Turkish lignite. In accordance with this purpose, combustion experiments were conducted for different heating rates in a temperature range of 800-1000 degrees C using different laboratory scale equipment: drop tube furnace (DTF) (similar to 10(5) degrees C/s), wire mesh reactor (WMR) (similar to 10(3) degrees C/s) and muffle furnace (MF) (similar to 10 degrees C/min). The r...
