متن کاملHandling “dirty Bomb”-scenarios with the Lagrangian Particle Model Lasair
An existing systems programme (LASAT) based on Lagrangian Particle Simulation has been adjusted to meet requirements of emergency authorities. The new model (LASAIR, Lagrangian Simulation of the Dispersion and Inhalation of Radionuclides) is able to simulate an explosion of an RDD (Radiological Dispersion Device) with additional radioactive material and computes the transport in the planetary b...

The university trial concerned the apportionment of working time between different activities and was required by EU legislation to implement the so-called ‘full-cost model’ to all externally funded research in the acade...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Radioactive Pollutants Dispersion in Radioactive "Dirty Bomb" Events
The simulation of radioactive pollutants dispersion is critical for emergency response of the nuclear terrorism. The radioactive “dirty bomb”, also called radiological dispersion device (RDD), produced and used by the terrorist to make fearful and radioactive pollution in general, has a great risk on humans. Numerical investigation of the impact of different configurations on radioactive pollut...
