Accidental releases of radioactivity from fission reactors will consist of active vapors or aerosols. Composition of the released plume will depend on the energy of release and fission product volatility. An apparatus is described that can efficiently (95...
The problem of determining the dynamic plastic deformation of a long, thin-walled tube or shell caused by a deliberate or accidental energy release over a small section of its interior has many practical applications. Because details of the energy release...
The manual discusses reducing the risk associated with an accidental release of chlorine. It identifies examples of potential causes of accidental releases that apply to processes that use chlorine, as well as measures that may be taken to reduce the accidental release ...

The stored energy content of the inner reflector graphite of NRX was measured at three different elevations and at different positions through the reflector. It was shown that there was no danger to NRX from an accidental release of energy. The rate of stored energy ...

The release of stored energy is due to the movement and elimination of lattice defects. A theory is presented of the factors which enable the rate and amount of release to be estimated, for a variety of reactor conditions, in terms of measurements made under a limited set of laboratory conditions. This theory is used to assess various ...
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the dose to man from releases of {sup 99}Tc in a fresh water system and to identify the biospheric transfer parameters to which the total dose is the most sensitive. Only internal exposure is taken into account, as the external irradiation leads to a negligible dose contribution. Two release modes were considered: ...

The report discusses the control of accidental releases of ammonia to the atmosphere. Ammonia has an IDLH (immediately dangerous to life and health) concentration of 500 ppm, making it an acute toxic hazard. Reducing the risk associated with an accidental release of ammonia invol...
This thesis studied the management of hazard assessment of accidental releases and identified some relevant methods and how they could be used to optimize assessment of accidental releases to the environment. Further, the thesis produced an approach to ha...
The paper discusses control and mitigation systems for accidental releases of toxic chemicals. A review of the control/mitigation system data base developed during an EPA study reveals that the major control measure employed by industry for accidental releases is routine process ...
