Emergency planning zones (EPZs) for Ghana’s potential reactor site have been determined based on an assessment of atmospheric dispersion and dose calculations for multiple accident scenarios involving a VVER‐1200 reactor. The analysis was performed using the Radiological Assessment System for Consequence Analysis (RASCAL) 4.3.4 code to calculate doses ...
