Abstract
In this paper results obtained with a more complex Lagrangian model, MESOS, developed to study long-range effects of atmospheric releases of radioactivity from nuclear installations, will be compared with results from simpler models based on extrapolating Gaussian plume models out to longer distances using only meteorological conditions at the source.
