Re: fission product source terms.....



Dave,



The "Health Physics an Radiological Health Handbook" had a good table of

equlibrium fission product in units of curies per Mw.   In the 1984

edition, its in Table 11.1.

I am searching for a good reference on fission product source terms for

reactor accident scenarios.  Specifically I'm looking  at nuclide source

terms for fission product releases that drive the off-site exposure,

ie...noble gasses and halogens.  I'm being a bit lazy in not wanting to go

thru the calculations for all of the possibilities, I also am a firm

believer in not 're-inventing the wheel'.  I know that using a code like

ORIGEN is the way to go but I'm not very proficient in using it.





Any help would be appreciated...



I'd also be very interested in a class on the ORIGEN code if anyone knows

of one they'd recommend.
