Chemical and physical forms of the released radionuclides

Details of the chemical and physical form of the released radionuclides are receiving a great deal of attention. These details need to be known to predict the retention in the reactor coolant system, the revaporization soiuce and the resuspension source. Information needs for the development of accident management strategies are probably less demanding. For many purposes, it can be sufficient to class radionuclides as  

Aerosol behaviour in the containment is largely dictated by physical properties including
