1. NAME AND TITLE

RADSHIP-2: Code System To Analyze Radiological Impact From Radwaste Transportation.

2. CONTRIBUTOR

Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, Taiwan, Republic of China.

3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

Fortran; FACOM-M200 and IBM 3033.

4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

RADSHIP-2 is a computer code system used to analyze the environmental impact of radwaste transportation in Taiwan. The specific transport scheme including the land transport by truck and sea transport by ship or barge were considered in the analysis for normal transport and transport accident conditions. The code combines meteorological, population, health physics, transportation, packaging and material factors and has the capability to obtain the results of the expected annual population radiation exposure, the expected number of annual latent cancer fatalities and the annual probability of a given number of early fatalities.

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

RADSHIP-2 is based on the health effects model used in the RADTRAN code and tailored to the actual transportation situation in Taiwan. The falling-off factors to take account for the dose decreasing away from the transport package were precalculated using CCC-307/QAD-CG and built into RADSHIP-2 for the population dose assessment during truck transportation.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

Restrictions are limited to the dimensions of the variables in the Fortran source of RADSHIP-2.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

The sample problem took less than one second on the IBM 3033.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

The code was developed on the FACOM-M200 and tested on the IBM 3033.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

A Fortran IV compiler was used on the FACOM-M200, and the IBM VS compiler specifying language level 77 was used on the IBM.
