ANL dust study aims to improve emergency response models
Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have conducted experimental tests on how particles from paved surfaces become suspended from activities such as walking, driving, and vacuuming, aiming to improve modeling of radiological and other contamination scenarios where emergency operations may kick up hazardous dust.
The Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) offers research opportunities for nuclear energy researchers via partner institutions. Users are provided access to nuclear research facilities, expertise from scientists and engineers, and assistance with experiment design, assembly, safety analysis and examination. Access is awarded through a competitive peer-reviewed process, and NSUF research supports Department of Energy-Office of Nuclear Energy missions.
