Comparison of Projections for a Short-Term Release, CAP88 vs NARAC
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The purpose of this study was to compare the projected dose using different plume models, evaluating a short duration release of tritium to the 16 compliance sectors and 4 additional points of interest using local meteorology. This report is written as guidance to the decision makers when reviewing this specific Gaussian plume model intended for radiological dose assessment and regulatory compliance, called CAP881, as compared to a more-complex model designed for emergency response. The emergency response model, NARAC2, can be used to supplement the CAP88 compliance model evaluations, since NARAC is intended for use in situations where releases are shorter in duration and have increased complexity in terrain and meteorology.
