Abstract
An approach to the comparative assessment of the impact of accidental radioactive emissions on the biota and radioecological validation of nuclear fuel cycle objects is presented. It is shown that the dose loads on woody tier in a coniferous forest as a result of severe accidents in NPPs with PWR-890, BWR-1412, and EPR-1600 significantly exceed the limit recommended by the ICRP. The impact of the radiation factor can result in serious disturbances in forest ecosystems in the immediate vicinity of NPPs.
