Scientists were not able to model these washout processes, because they did not have the needed meteorological precipitation data or fine-scale forecast model precipitation pro~ Ellis emphasized that it is difficult to reconstruct the exact history of LLNL involvement in this event, since those who participated directly in this response effort are no longer at LLNL.

NARAC models were used to estimate air concentration and ground deposition of key radioactive elements and the corresponding exposures and potential health effects. It was estimated that iodine deposition in the United States was insignificant but that dangerous levels of ground deposition of key radioactive elements had occurred throughout Europe.
