NUCL 5070G - Environmental Modelling

The transport of pollutants through the total environment depends upon complex interactions between the atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere. Understanding the details of pollutant transport between source, environmental compartments and receptors allows for determination of potential dose and thereby estimation of risk. This course explores the fundamental theory, equations and solutions to standard environmental transport models (with emphasis on radiolonuclide transport). In addition, this course introduces the student to the RESRAD codes for environmental modelling.
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate courses in physics, chemistry, differential equations and statistics. A working knowledge of MS EXCEL is required.
