Abstract
The Cs-137 radionuclide dispersion in the marine environment through t he compartmental model is reported. The model simulates the surface wa ter contamination caused by routine or accidental radionuclide release s. For the simulation the OCEAN program was applied in the North Sea, near to Sellafield and adjacent areas, based on published transfer coe fficient data. The results are in good agreement with the literature a nd the model developed can be applied to the brazilian coastal regions .
