Abstract

AbstractThe health impacts and corresponding damage costs of radioactive emission of Muğla province lignite-fired power plants have been assessed by using the simplified impact pathway approach. Radiation dose and risk calculations have been carried out by the code CAP88-PC around the power plants. Specific isotopes, 238U, 232Th, 226Ra and 40K in the flying ash samples are considered as radioactive sources. Power plants intersecting regions are also considered in the collective dose calculation. The estimated total collective dose around Muğla province due to Yatağan, Yeniköy and Kemerköy power plants is 5.25 × 10−2 man.Sv/year. The total health effects damage cost around the Muğla province due to the radioactive emissions from the power plants is 2504.3 US $ 2000/year. The results obtained from the calculations are under the dose limits of International Commission of Radiation Protection and it does not any risk for public health around the plant environment.
