Tritium oxide wash-out by drops

Experimental investigation and modelling of tritium washout by precipitation in the area of the nuclear power plant of Paks, Hungary

“…Only two coefficients are over 1 Â10 À4 s À1 . These values are similar to those reported in earlier studies (Belovodski et al, 1997;Tokuyama and Oonishi, 1997), with the wide variation attributed to the imperfectness of plume modelling (building disturbance, etc. ; see earlier in this section).…”

“…The reduced chi square value is used because measured values with higher uncertainty subsequently have less weight during the fitting. The commonly used washout coefficient (Belovodski et al, 1997;Tokuyama and Oonishi, 1997) was also calculated for the samplers according to the following formula:…”

Studies on the Rain Scavenging Process of Tritium in a Tropical Site at Narora in India

“…Belovodski et al [10] studied the kinetics of wash-out tritium oxide (HTO) from air by water drops under laboratory conditions. Nankar et al [11] carried out a comprehensive study on the deposition characteristics at Kakrapar site in central western and off the coast part of India, and Reji et al [12] carried out similar studies at Kaiga site south west and off the coast of India.…”

Rain scavenging of tritiated water vapour: a numerical Eulerian stationary model

“…Recently, Hales (2002) expanded his studies for different pollutants and for different models of tritium vapour dispersion in the atmosphere e all of them Gaussian plume formulations. Another approach, closely connected to experimental results, called "engineering model", is used by Belovodski et al (1997), Belovodski et al (2000), and Golubev et al (2003). National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering "Horia Hulubei" e Bucharest was selected to implement the European Community project RODOS (http://www.rodos.fzk.…”
