RE: HP and Rad Health Handbook, 1998...
Title: Message
Dave,
Comparing the values in Table 11.2.1 of the Handbook to the values shown
in the Harris Nuclear Plant Safety Analysis Report indicates that the Handbook
has a typo. The exponent should be "+8" not "-8". For instance the number of
curies of I-131 in the core is 0.85E+08, the number of curies of Xe-133 in
the core is 1.7E+08, etc.
Ben
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,
