Properties

`Optional`hazardsImpactingProtectiveActions

hazardsImpactingProtectiveActions?: string

Hazards impacting protective actions.

Example

"Presence of smoke may hinder evacuation."

`Optional`importantRadionuclides

importantRadionuclides?: string[]

Radionuclide isotopes important to dose or health effects. Required by RCRE-A2(c).

Example

["I-131", "Cs-137", "Sr-90"]

`Optional`importantRadionuclidesJustification

importantRadionuclidesJustification?: string

Brief justification for why these radionuclides are important to health effects.

Example

"I-131 is important for thyroid dose; Cs-137 for long-term exposure; Sr-90 for bone dose"

`Optional`numberOfPlumes

numberOfPlumes?: number

The number of plumes associated with the release.

Example

`Optional`radionuclideGroupFractions

radionuclideGroupFractions?: Record<string, number>

Fractions of radionuclide groups released.

Example

{ NobleGases: 1.0, Iodines: 0.5 }

`Optional`radionuclideQuantities

radionuclideQuantities?: Record<string, number[]>

Quantity of each radionuclide released by species in each time phase of release (in Becquerels or Curies). This is a record where the key is the radionuclide (e.g., "Cs-137") and the value is an array of quantities for each time phase.

Example

{ "Cs-137": [1e15, 5e14], "I-131": [2e14, 1e14] }

`Optional`releasedParticleSize

releasedParticleSize?: number

Released particle size in micrometers (e.g., activity median aerodynamic diameter - AMAD).

Example

1.0

`Optional`releasedParticleSizeDescription

releasedParticleSizeDescription?: string

Released particle size description.

Example

"Aerosol"

`Optional`releaseDuration

releaseDuration?: string

Release duration for each release phase in hours.

Example

"2 hours"

`Optional`releaseEnergy

releaseEnergy?: number

Thermal energy of the release(s) in Joules.

Example

1e9

`Optional`releaseEnergyDescription

releaseEnergyDescription?: string

Thermal energy description.

Example

"High"

`Optional`releaseHeight

releaseHeight?: number

Release height in meters above ground level.

Example

`Optional`releaseHeightDescription

releaseHeightDescription?: string

Release height description.

Example

"Ground"

`Optional`releaseTiming

releaseTiming?: string

Release timing (start time) for each release phase in hours.

Example

"0 hour"

`Optional`releaseTimingAndDuration

releaseTimingAndDuration?: [number, number][]

Release timing and duration of each release phase in hours. Array representing start time and duration for each phase.

Example

[[2], [1, 5]] // Phase 1: starts at 0 hours, lasts 2 hours; Phase 2: starts at 5 hours, lasts 1 hour.

`Optional`releaseUncertainties

releaseUncertainties?: string

Uncertainties associated with the release characteristics.

Example

"Uncertainty in release fraction for volatile isotopes."

`Optional`warningTime

warningTime?: number

Warning time before the start of release or releases in hours.

Example

`Optional`warningTimeDescription

warningTimeDescription?: string

Warning time as a string description.

Example

"0.5 hours"
