Description

ARCON96 is the current NRC-recommended atmospheric dispersion model that may be used to estimate atmospheric relative concentration in assessing the habitability of a NPP control room during design basis radiological events. Based on meteorological data from a NPP site in China, the atmospheric relative concentration was calculated and analyzed using ARCON96, and then compared with calculations by the composite wake model. Results demonstrated that ARCON96 is feasible for atmospheric relative concentration estimation and its estimate is more conservative than the composite wake model. (authors)
