Optimal routing of hazardous substances in time-varying, stochastic transportation networks

Woods, A.L.; Miller-Hooks, E.; Mahmassani, H.S. - 2009

This report is concerned with the selection of routes in a network along which to transport hazardous substances, taking into consideration several key factors pertaining to the cost of transport and the risk of population exposure in the event of an accident. Furthermore, the fact that travel...

Scenarios for /sup 14/C release to the atmosphere by the world nuclear industry and estimated radiological impacts. [Projections for the years 1975 through 2020]

Till, J.E.; Killough, G.G. - 2009

This paper presents an assessment of the radiation dose to the world population and the associated potential health effects from three scenarios of /sup 14/C releases by the nuclear industry between 1975 and 2020. Measures of health impact are derived from source terms through the use of a...

Uncertainties in environmental radiological assessment models and their implications

Hoffman, F.O.; Miller, C.W. - 2008

Environmental radiological assessments rely heavily on the use of mathematical models. The predictions of these models are inherently uncertain because these models are inexact representations of real systems. The major sources of this uncertainty are related to biases in model formulation and...

Evaluation of the data available for estimating release rates from commercial low-level waste packages

Sullivan, T.M.; Cowgill, M.G. - 2008

In this paper, an overview of our findings concerning the distribution of activity within low-level radioactive wastes will be presented. This will begin in a general fashion and consider the distribution of the total activity by each of the following: waste class, waste stream, wasteform, and...
