An indication of the ARF for this type of condition at low velocities can be gained from the
entrainment of plutonium solution in air at velocities from 10 to 100 cm/s passing over the
surface (Mishima, Schwendiman and Radasch, November 1968). The entrainment was from
a very shallow pool (~2 to 4 mm) of limited diameter (~2.5 cm) using a dense solution.
Evaporation periods lasted from 2 h to 24 h with temperatures from ambient (~21 oC) to
100 oC. For entrainment at ambient temperature with an evaporation period of 24 h, the
ARF ranged from <2E-10 to 2.5E-9. The ARFs measured are listed in Table 3-10 taken
from Table I in the reference document and found in Appendix A (Table A.1). The
experimental apparatus is shown in Figure A.1.

Although the nominal velocities used in these experiments appear to be much lower than
those quoted in subsection 3.2.4.1, the values represent velocities much closer to the surface
(i.e., within cm) than the usual height for meteorological windspeed measurements of 10 m.
For turbulent to laminar flow, the nominal 10 meter windspeed would be a factor of 2 to 10
higher than the values quoted in Table 3-10. The ARRs measured range from 7E-12/hr to
1E-10/hr.

As will be discussed in Chapter 4, Sehmel and Lloyd (1976a,b) measured resuspension rates
of a powder deposited on a soil surface and deduced that a reasonable value for resuspension
rate was 1E-8/s to 1E-10/s. These values correspond to 4E-5/hr and 4E-7/hr. Liquids are
significantly less susceptible to entrainment than powders.
