Description

The paper briefly describes the general types of nuclear weapon accidents, and it points out the main channels of radioactive aerosol release. It applies the wedge-shaped model to build the aerosol spread mathematical physics model to calculate the radiation characteristics which can be compared with HotSpot model. For a typical plutonium aerosol inhalation by personnel it estimates the irradiation biological hazards, and the conclusions of the paper plays an important role on nuclear accident radioactive aerosol protection and decontamination.
