Assessment of Accident Dose Models Used at the Savannah River Site
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
AXAIRQ, PUFF-PLUME, and MACCS2 are available for atmosphere modeling of accidental releases at the Savannah River Site (SRS) by qualified users. All models assume Gaussian diffusion and use site-specific or user-specified meteorological data to estimate downwind doses. However, each model was developed, maintained and applied for different purposes for use at SRS. This report briefly describes the lineage of, highlights the differing assumptions for, and compares some results from each model. The report is not intended to be an exhaustive evaluation and/or comparison of the models but to document the capabilities and assumptions of the models to gain perspective on how the models differ.
