Abstract: We present a two-stage optimal control model with space and time dimensions to analyze the diffusion of radiations from a nuclear radiation source. The first stage of the model considers the optimal policy to contain the emissions generated from a nuclear radiation source which are diffusing and contaminating the surrounding territories. The second stage, instead, seeks to determine the best location for the nuclear radiation source by minimizing the cost of containment and maximizing the distance from population centers. We illustrate our approach through different numerical examples and we also provide a real case study by using available data from Chernobyl.
