Simulation of secondary radioactive air pollution in Ukraine due to the wind lift of radionuclides.

Mathematical machines and systems, 2021
The paper presents the results of the simulation of secondary air pollution scenario in Ukraine due to the wind lift of anthropogenic radionuclides during a dust storm in April 2020. A variant of the Bagnold formula was used to parameterize the intensity of radionuclide resuspension.
