Atmospheric dispersion modeling for an accidental release from the Pakistan Research Reactor-1 (PARR-1)

The results indicate that a person located within a downwind distance of about 500 m from the reactor would receive more than the permissible CED under the analyzed severe accident scenario. Analysis of one typical year of wind data indicates that the predominant wind direction is East-North East (ENE), which occurs at the site for more than 15% of the time.
