Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Radiological Health
  • Atmospheric Modeling

Background:

  • CAP-88 PC is a US EPA-approved radiological atmospheric dispersion model.
  • The model typically uses a library of US meteorological data.
  • Onsite meteorological data may offer more accurate local dose assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a workaround for preparing and converting onsite meteorological data for CAP-88 PC input.
  • To highlight the benefits of using local meteorological data over historical regional data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a data preparation and conversion process for onsite meteorological data.
  • Integration of the prepared local data into the CAP-88 PC model.

Main Results:

  • A viable method for incorporating site-specific meteorological data into CAP-88 PC was established.
  • Local data potentially offers more realistic public dose estimations in the immediate vicinity of a facility.

Conclusions:

  • Using onsite meteorological data in CAP-88 PC can improve the accuracy of localized dose assessments.
  • Regulatory acceptance of local data for compliance may vary by jurisdiction.
  • Local data is more representative of current weather patterns than historical regional data.
