Summary
A computer code has been developed to calculate the cumulative frequency distributions of dose following an accidental release from a stack or from a building penetration such as a vent. The calculations of relative concentration are based on the Gaussian plume equations. The meteorological data used for the calculation are in the form of joint frequency distributions of wind and atmospheric stability. The computer code permits the user to select many different meteorological options such as dry deposition, plume rise, diffusion coefficients and adjustments for averaging time. The computer code permits radiological dose to be determined from inhalation, submersion and shine dose from a semi-infinite cloud. The code also permits shine dose from a finite cloud to be determined for postulated SRP reactor accidents.
