Statistical Analyses of Plume Composition and Deposited Radionuclide Mixture Ratios

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1204074· OSTI ID:1204074

A proposed method is considered to classify the regions in the close neighborhood of selected measurements according to the ratio of two radionuclides measured from either a radioactive plume or a deposited radionuclide mixture. The subsequent associated locations are then considered in the area of interest with a representative ratio class. This method allows for a more comprehensive and meaningful understanding of the data sampled following a radiological incident.
