Description

  • Content Description: The Leak Path Factor (LPF) for a nonreactor nuclear facility is a critical component for the evaluation of the source term used to evaluate the on-site and off-site consequences when an accident produces aerosols containing radioactive powders that propagate through the facility and finally to the outside environment. The Leak Path Factor is defined as the fraction of the airborne radioactive particulate material that is in the respirable size range within the building that escapes via available pathways to the outside environment. This paper presents a methodology to evaluate the LPF for various accident conditions (e.g., seismic event, fire) that could take place in a nonreactor nuclear facility using MELCOR computer code. The methodology presented could enable analysts to efficiently model facilities to assess the magnitude of the LPF by evaluating its various components.
