A numerical model for calculating the behavior of radioactive contaminant associated with the sediment transport in rivers has been proposed in this study. The equations for simulating the concentration of radioactive contaminant of the sediment has been derived from the governing equation of the sediment transport model. The proposed model has been applied to a simple river confluence to understand the mixing process of the sediment and the radioactive contaminant in the confluence point. The numerical results provide a useful data for discussing the relation between the bed evolution process and the behavior of radioactive contaminant. In addition, the model can contribute to estimate the origin of the sediment by using the relationship between the simulated sediment diameter and the concentration of the radioactive contaminant.
