Title: Recommended Tritium Oxide Deposition Velocity For Use In Savannah River Site Safety Analyses

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1047459· OSTI ID:1047459

This report documents the results of examining the deposition velocity of water to forests, the residence time of HTO in forests, and the relation between deposition velocity and residence time with specific consideration given to the topography and experimental work performed at SRS. A simple mechanistic model is used to obtain plausible deposition velocity and residence time values where experimental data are not available and recommendations are made for practical application in a safety analysis model.
