Description
An overview of the methods used by the Safety and Reliability Directorate of the UKAEA for conducting a radiological consequence analysis is described. For the assessment of accidental releases of radioactive material to the atmosphere, it would be normal in the UK to use the TIRION or WEERIE suites of computer codes. A general description of the models used in the TIRION code (Gaussian-plume, constant weather) is provided along with a simpler and quicker method of obtaining public doses by using prepared solutions to the diffusion equation plus dose conversion factors.
