Studies on the rain scavenging process of tritium in a tropical site in India

摘要: Abstract This study presents the results of one first systematic experiments on tritium ( 3 H) concentrations in ground level air against that rainwater near a pressurized heavy water reactor tropical region. The samples were collected over rainy season three years (2007, 2008 and 2010). For this study, 31 data sets interpreted based theoretical information available literature. specific activity ratio H between moisture at was calculated for each set. average found to be 1.96 ± 2.72. A correlation r  = 0.82, p activity. Higher rain duration with slower rate yielded higher as more time scavenging/wash out process take effect together lower dilution. present also suggested need further investigate influence raindrop distribution other local meteorological parameters wash process. An attempt made predict concentration using Gaussian plume dispersion model values compared measured generally than predictions.
