Abstract

Abstract Comprehensive studies were carried out during the period 2016–19 on the estimation of site-specific wet and dry deposition velocities and the mass interception factor for Narora site based on the concentrations of 7Be in air, air deposits, rain water and vegetation samples. Mean wet and dry deposition velocities for Narora site were found to be 1.64E-2 and 1.58E-3 m s−1, respectively. Mass interception factors for vegetation found to be 0.34–2.51 m2 kg−1 dry weight with a mean of 0.97 m2 kg−1 dry weight. The obtained parameters shall be used for estimation of impact due to radionuclide related to Narora Atomic Power station.
