Potential impact of LWR source-term magnitude and characteristics on predicted consequences of reactor accidents
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6762069
This paper will review the important characteristics of LWR accident source terms and discuss how each characteristic could impact predicted consequences. Information is presented concerning source term magnitude; particle size distribution and chemical composition; plume heat and moisture content; and release timing.
