This handbook contains a systematic compilation of airborne release and respirable fraction experimental data for nonreactor nuclear facilities, assessments of the data, and values derived from assessing the data that may be used in safety analyses when the data are applicable. To assist in consistent and effective use of this information, the handbook provides:
- Identification of a consequence determination methodology in which the information can be used;
- Discussion of the applicability of the information and its general technical limits;
- Identification of specific accident phenomena of interest for which the information is applicable;
- Examples of use of the consequence determination methodology and airborne release and respirable fraction information.
It is acknowledged that the data examined in this handbook is limited to that available during the preparation process. Other data may exist or be developed, and individuals are invited to submit such material for consideration for any future revisions.
