Detectibility of Krypton-85 Sources — •Robert Annewandter and Ole Ross — C.F.v.Weizsäcker-Centre for Science and Peace Research, Hamburg, Germany

The lagrangian particle dispersion model HYSPLIT was used to determine the detectability of globally distributed krypton-85 sources regarding the variability of its background concentration calculated by Ole Ross with ECHAM 5.

Results on minimal detectable releases and their distance to source will be presented.

This work is part of a project showing Krypton-85 tracers applicable for remote monitoring purposes of nuclear facilities based on the Additional Protocol of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
