The work proposed in this effort is directed towards determining the correlation between observed airborne radioiodine Concentrations in the Auxiliary and Fuel Handling Buildings at TMI-2 following the accident in 1979 with diurnal temperature variations Approximately 5000 measurements were made during the period April -July, 1979 in designated areas of the Auxiliary/Fuel Handling Buildings and the data has been collected and compiled by the proposed contractor, Daniel & Associates, Inc.Anticipated Results/Implication of the Approach (both Phase I and II/Potential Commercial Application of Research:This work would utilize data from an actual accident to increase the industry's knowledge of radioiodine resuspension phenomena and would allow Comparisons to be made between actual accident conditions and controlled laboratory experiments Follow-up work (Phase II) would develop mathematical models for predicting radioiodine resuspension, and, (using results of other investigators) develop models for resuspension by species. It would provide the industry with a technical basis for establishing regulatory guidelines and design improvements of safety systemsTechnology, Research Thrust and/or Potential Commercial Application (Limit to 10 words):Radioiodine Resuspension; Fission Product Behavior, Accident Analysis
