Re: Resuspension Factors

["ERIC GOLDIN" <goldinem@songs.sce.com>]

     Danny,  You're probably buried in references by now, but two very 
     useful references with release fractions or dispersibility 
     coefficients (that differ slightly in concept from resuspension 
     factors) and their uses are:
     
     NUREG-1140 "A regulatory analysis on emergency preparedness for 
     fuel cycle and other radioactive material licensees"  1988.
     
     NUREG/CR-4856 "Feasibility study on a data-based system for 
     decisions regarding occupational exposure."  1987.
     
     Obviously the first one is better for considering accident-type 
     scenarios, and the second is for routine work.
     
     Both of these documents cite easily used factors that are 
     specific for difference types of nuclides under different 
     conditions.  If I recall, references to supporting scientific 
     studies are cited as well.  Since others may find these documents 
     both useful and relatively easy to obtain, I'm sending the note 
     to Radsafe.
