Field evaluation of an emergency response atmospheric dispersion model

Conference · · Trans. Am. Nucl. Soc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7120337
An important consideration in planning emergency response operations is the validity of the atmospheric dispersion models used to characterize and predict the path of a radionuclide or chemically hazardous atmospheric release. For the past several years, the Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) has performed field experiments to evaluate the emergency response code PUFF-PLUME, which is used at the Savannah River Plant (SRP) site. Results from an extensive series of daytime experiments are presented, along with preliminary results from a pair of recent nighttime experiments.
