Abstract:

Graphs of expected dosage from an infinite line source are presented for various wind speeds, heights of release, and stability conditions. The graphs are based on Suttons diffusion equation with parameters derived from Project Prairie Grass data by Haugen, Barad, and Antanaitis. A method of estimating the range of validity of these equations for a line source of finite length is also presented.
