Week 5

Scenario Comparison

After the inputs had been evaluated and combination's of inputs, the worse case scenario was created for both an explosion and a fire involving each of the radionuclides, it was time to decide which of them had the greatest radiological consequence. The factors used to compare the consequences were as follows:
The Max TEDE
The Area of the inner, middle and outer contour
Dose equivalent of the organs including lungs, skin, and red marrow

Tables were made to compare the radionuclides for each situation. Radon continuously gave the worse case scenario, with Iridium a close second for two scenarios.
