Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Idaho Falls, Idaho, contributed a newly frozen version of this radiological safety analysis code system. RSAC-6 calculates the consequences of the release of radionuclides to the atmosphere. A user can generate a fission product inventory; decay and ingrow the inventory during transport through processes, facilities, and the environment; model the downwind dispersion of the activity; and calculate doses to downwind individuals. Doses are calculated through the inhalation, immersion, ground surface and ingestion pathways. New to RSAC-6 are the ability to calculate inhalation from release to a room, inhalation from resuspension of activities, and a new model for dry deposition. Doses can now be calculated as close as 10 meters from the release point. Internal doses (inhalation and ingestion) are calculated using the ICRP-30 model with dose conversion factors from Federal Guidance Report No. 11 (EPA 1988). External factors are calculated from Federal Guidance Report No. 12 (EPA 1993). This is a significant move from the previous factors that were used in RSAC5. A unique capability is the ability to model Class F fumigation conditions, the meteorological condition that causes the highest ground level concentrations from an elevated release. Dose calculations may be made for either acute or chronic releases. RSAC has been subjected to extensive independent verification and validation for use in performing safety-related dose calculations to support safety analysis reports. RSAC is an excellent tool to evaluate accident conditions in emergency response scenarios.

RSAC-6 runs on Pentium computers under Windows operating systems. It was tested at RSICC on a Pentium 4 running Windows2000. The source files are not included in this distribution. RSAC was validated for the Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000 platforms. The transmittal CD contains RSAC-6 and RSAC+ executable files plus test cases and documentation written in self-extracting compressed Windows format. Reference: INEEL/EXT-01-00540 (2001). Fortran 77; Pentium (C00125/PC386/02).
 

The Safety Research Institute, Kalpakkam, Tamilnadu, India, contributed a newly frozen version of this code system for neutron and gamma-ray shielding calculations by the point kernel method. GUI2QAD is an aid in preparation of input for the included QAD-CGPIC program, which is based on CCC-493/QAD-CGGP and PICTURE. Provision is available to interactively input the geometry and view the same in three dimensions with arbitrary rotations along x,y,z axis. The salient features of the new package are:

a) Handles off-centered multiple identical sources,
b) Axis of cylindrical sources can be parallel to any of the axes,
c) Provides plots of buildup factors and material cross sections,
d) Estimates dose rate for point source-slab shield situations,
e) Interactive input of CG geometry with 3D view and rotation,
f) Fission product decay power computation and plots for source term calculations, and
g) Provision to read and graphically display picture input file.

The code QAD-CGPIC incorporates both QAD-CGGP and PICTURE and has a provision to select either ANS-6.4.3 1990 GP buildup factor compilation or Capo's buildup factors. The code runs on Pentium-III computers under Windows operating systems. The graphical user interface is coded in Visual Basic 6. The QAD-CGPIC executable was created with the Lahey F77L3-EM/32 V5.2 compiler. The package is transmitted on one CD in a self-extracting, compressed Windows file. References: Informal user manual (June 2001) and CCC-493 documentation. Visual Basic 6 and Fortran 77; Pentium-III (C00697/PC586/01).
 

The Bucharest University, Faculty of Physics, Bucharest Magurele, Romania, through NEA Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, contributed this newly frozen version of this code system designated SCAT-2B. SCAT-2 was designed as a fast, easy-to-use program to calculate total cross sections, elastic scattering cross sections and their angular distributions, and transmission coefficients from the optical model of a spherical nucleus. SCAT-2B extends the incident particles to include heavy ions. SCAT-2B runs on workstations and Pentium computers. The SCAT-2B source code was written in Fortran 77 and was tested at RSICC on an IBM RS/6000 Model 270 running AIX 4.3.3 with xlf Fortran 7.1 and on a Pentium 4 in a DOS window of Windows2000 with the Digital Visual Fortran 6.0 compiler. The DVF executable was added to the package. This release was also tested at the NEA Data Bank under Linux with the g77 compiler. The SCAT distribution CD includes both the new SCAT-2B release and the previous release SCAT-2. The package is transmitted on one CD in self-extracting compressed Windows files which include Fortran source, PC executables, and sample case input and output. References: CEA-N-2227 (October 1981) and NEANDC-152'A', INDC(NEA)4 (October 3, 1983). Fortran 77; Pentium and IBM RS/6000 (SCAT-2B P00294/MNYCP/02).

MCNPX is the LANL all-particle, all-energy (eV-GeV) Monte Carlo transport code based on MCNP4C2, LAHET, CEM, etc. MCNPX has been developed for the past six years, particularly for the high-energy accelerator community, and has now become an accepted tool for a broad range of applications by nuclear engineers, physicists, and scientists. All workshops are hands-on and will include a distribution of MCNPX 2.3 (subject to participant export approval), LA150 (150 MeV) cross-section data, and a notebook of viewgraphs. More information on course topics and fees can be found at the registration website.
