Scale‐aware impact modelling for atmospheric releases of radioactive material

Weather, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 205-211, July 2026.
Since the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in 2011, the UK has developed the process of Joint Agency Modelling (JAM), which provides advice to government in case of atmospheric releases of radioactive material. The timely deployment of JAM requires a prior estimate of the extent to which impacts could reach. Thus, to develop a fast pre‐calculator
