HP and Rad Health Handbook, 1998...

[Dave Brown <david.brown@nist.gov>]

Anyone familiar with Table 11.2.1 of the 1998 Handbook of Health Physics

and Radiological Health, Third Edition, 'Initial Activity of

Radionuclides in the Nuclear Reactor Core at the Time of a Hypothetical

Accident'.  The units of 'Curies x10-8' are a little baffling.....is

it per fission, per watt per Mev/s.... ??   I'm searching for the

reference for this table but haven't located a copy yet...(WASH-1400

and/or NUREG-0956)

Regards,
