Abstract
For prediction of dynamics of radionuclide activity concentration in rivers either quite sophisticated models (see reviews by Raskob, et ai, [7]) or empirical dependencies, most of which are exponential, are usually used [5, 8, 9, 10]. For geophysical models a large number of input parameters including spatially distributed ones are required. Many of these parameters can be estimated with acceptable accuracy only by model calibration based on a large body of experimental data. The model of Bulgakov, Konoplev, Kanivez and Voitsekhovich [1] for prediction of the long-term radionuclide dynamics in river was selected to illustrate the use of DB RUNOFF.
