Abstract: An atmospheric dispersion experiment was conducted using a visible tracer along with the routine releases of ⁴¹Ar from the BR1 research reactor in Mol, Belgium. Simultaneous measurements of plume geometry and radiation field from ⁴¹Ar decay were performed as well as measurements of the ⁴¹Ar source term and the meteorological parameters. Good overall agreement is found between measurement data and model results using the mesoscale atmospheric dispersion and dose rate model RIMPUFF.
