Gaussian Plume and Puff Models for Offsite Dose Rates Evaluations Department of Engineering and System Science National Tsing-Hua University Chunkuan Shih MST NJ, July 12, 2006
Gaussian Steady State Plume Model NPP effluents dispersion is based on site’s meteorology Concentration of effluent is determined by the usual diffusion equation Gaussian plume model for dispersion in transverse directions Dispersion coefficients determined from Pasquill conditions (A thru G)
Gaussian Puff Model Account for the time of travel of effluents and dispersions in all directions Effluents are releases as successive puffs at every end of a preset duration of time (ex. 30 sec) Code keeps track of dose rates and integrated doses at every downwind location (50m X 50m square) within 5 km radius .
