Abstract
The reported investigation is part of a program that was established for deriving radiological, source terms at a nuclear facility's atmospheric boundaries under postulated
accident conditions. The overall program consists
of three parts: (1) accident delineation and survey, (2) internal source term characterization and release,
and (3) induced flow and material transport. This report
is an outline of pertinent induced-flow and material
transport literature. Our objectives are to develop
analytical techniques and data that will permit prediction
of accident-induced transport of airborne material to a.
plant's atmospheric boundaries.
Prediction of material transport requires investigation of the areas of flow dynamics and reentrainment/deposition.
A review of material transport, fluid dynamics,
and reentrainment/deposition literature is discussed. In
particular, those references dealing, with model development
are discussed with special emphasis on application
to a facility's interconnected ventilation system.
