A numerical simulation of the radionuclide transport behaviour through the soil is presented. This simulation is derived by embodying, in its main structure, the boundary conditions that should be fulfilled by the radionuclide concentration differential equation. Based on the results received by applying the above numerical method, estimations of the radionuclide concentration at a soil point, of known depth, time period and initial surface concentration, can be obtained. An application example shows the variation of the radionuclide concentration refer to different time periods and soil depths. The results are compared to actual measured data and found to be satisfactory.
