The study of weather conditions as part of the data of the site will determine the relative concentrations of radionuclides in the air using ARCON96. The activity in the air is characterized depending on the source and release sequence specified in NUREG-1465 by RADTRAD code which provides results of the inner cloud source term contribution. Known activities and energy spectra are inferred using ORIGEN-S which are used as input for the models of the outer cloud filters and containment generated with MCNP5. The sum of the different contributions must meet the conditions of habitability specified by the CSN Spanish Nuclear Regulatory Body TEDE 2 C. Hueso et al. EPJ Nuclear Sci.
