Operational Guidance & Physics Assumptions
- The effective clearance rate constant combines radioactive decay and physical fluid flushing: k_eff = λ_rad + Q / V.
- Hydraulic turnover rate Q / V defines the chamber exchange rate; each turnover removes ~63.2% of airborne or liquid contaminant.
- Clearance half-time: T_clear = ln(2) / k_eff.
