Annotated bibliography for sources

DiNunno etal.. Calculation of Distance Factors for Power and Test Reactor Sites, TID-14844, U S. Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, D.C., 1962. 

This document describes the treatment of reactor accident source terms used in the past for both the design and safety evaluation of many existing power plants. The document, which is now only of historical significance, envisages the important radionuclide releases to be the noble gases, iodine in gaseous form, and 1% of the initial core inventory of other radionuclides in particulate form.

This dociunent describes a representative radionuclide source term to the containments of reactors for use in the traditional design basis accident analysis. The source term is based on the more mechanistic studies of radionuclide behaviour conducted since the accident at Three Mile Island. Although the source is representative of the magnitude and timing of severe accident source terms, it is not intended to represent any specific severe accident sequence nor is it intended to be a boimding source term.
