The purpose of this document is to recommend a procedure for experimental verification of the HAARM-3 computer code. The HAARM-3 code predicts aerosol behavior within a containment vessel under assumed accident conditions for an LMFBR. Calculations are made of aerosol agglomeration (Brownian, gravitational and turbulent), deposition on walls (Brownian diffusion, thermosphoresis), sedimentation onto the floor, leakage, and aerosol input from a source. Verification of the code is expected to be derived from comparisons with experimental results already available and with additional experiments to be conducted. The specific purpose of this plan is then to identify procedures, set limits for agreement, and identify experiments and measurements needed to assess the adequacy of the HAARM-3 code in predicting aerosol behavior.
