RSICC DATA PACKAGE MIS-021

 

 

1.         NAME AND TITLE OF PACKAGE

HGSYSTEM, Atmospheric Dispersion for Ideal Gases and Hydrogen Fluoride (HF)

 

2.         CONTRIBUTOR

Shell Research Limited Thornton Research Centre, Chester (England) through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.

 

3.         CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

FORTRAN Linux, MacOS, Windows (NEA-DB ESTS0545/01)

 

4.         HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION

The hazards of hydrogen fluoride (HF) have long been recognized, and operating practices have been aimed at minimizing the possibility of a release and mitigating the effects of a release should it occur. These practices have been continually monitored and improved to maximize safety protection based on the available technical data. HGSYSTEM has been aimed at further improvements based on new technical data.

 

5.         METHOD OF SOLUTION

HGSYSTEM uses the following to calculate HF dispersion: HF thermodynamics, jet plume modeling, gravity spreading, and surface roughness effects.

 

6.         RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

None Stated


7.         TYPICAL RUNNING TIME
