Evaluating Postulated Tritium Releases on a Large DOE Site Using the UFOTRI Consequence Model

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4908

The UFOTRI computer model is applied to postulated accident conditions for tritium facilities at the Savannah River Site in the southeastern United States. Predicted doses are dominated by food ingestion pathways, and are evaluated from Complementary Cumulative Distribution Functions. For plume passage and reemission during the acute phase after release, the 95th percentile dose factor per unit HTO release is 1.2E-8 rem/curie (3.3E-21 Sv/Bq). Other than food pathway assumptions, major sensitivities include surface roughness length, wind direction persistence, wet deposition and dispersion parameters.
