Analysis Of AM-241 Resuspension Into Atmosphere
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerIn health physics, there is a need to model the resuspension of radiological particulates into the atmosphere to help evaluate radiological security thresholds. Therefore, this project aims to experimentally measure resuspension and derive a mathematical model that fits the experimental results. Based on a compartment kinetic model, we successfully derived a theoretical exponential model that describes resuspension in a closed setting without environmental effects. Experimental set-up and procedures were determined to collect data from three different trials. The data collected didn't significantly measure resuspension due to an oversampling of the population. Revision of procedures will allow a successful measurement of resuspension that will be fit to the proposed model.
