Evaluating the inputs of the HotSpot Software
To create the ultimate worse case scenario we evaluated each of the inputs of the software. The following are the inputs of interest and all other were kept as defaults:
Source Term:
Materials at Risk*
Damage Ratio*
Leakpath factor*
Depostion Velocity*
Airborne Fraction*
Respirable Fraction*
High Explosive*
Cloud top*
Meteorolgy
Stability Class*
Wind Speed*
Setup:
Terrain*
Groundshine*
TEDE Contour Values*
Each was evaluated with either a trial and error approach or with the help of other resources such as the EPA website and the HotSpot help line.
