Analysis of the Effective Dose to the Public Living Around Korean Nuclear Power Plants After the Monitoring of Carbon‐14 Discharge Was Implemented

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 5810-5820, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Radioactive effluents discharged by nuclear power plants (NPPs) are classified into two categories: gas and liquid effluents, based on their source and discharge pathways. During the operation of these facilities, both types of effluents are released into the environment.
