From the publication:

"Source term" refers to the quantity, timing and characteristics of the radioactivity 
that would be released to the environment in the event of a severe accident in a 
nuclear power plant. Renewed interest in this important issue stems from 
observations that the 1979 accident at the Three-Mile-Island plant released less 
radioactive material than had been expected under the circumstances. This report 
summarises the findings of an international group of experts who have compared 
and analysed all of the information on source terms currently available.
