Hi all -
I requested information on dose estimating via a software program and received this response from Phung Tran at EPRI. At the bottom of the e-mail is the link for a webinar on May 1st. If there is any interest out there on this subject, please attend and/or contact Phung directly. Thanks for all who responded so far. I thought this was a shot in the dark. It looks like we hit something.

If you think this may be useful to the rest of the Powernet community, can you forward it along so that everyone else can see the response? We've been working on an initiative with a couple of volunteer 3D simulation/laser scan vendors to develop what I call the next generation ALARA work planning tool. EPRI developed a "3D Radiation Field Estimation Algorithm" that was integrated with the CSA Panomap software and Siemens Plant Lifecycle Management (PLM) software tool for prototype demonstration. The EPRI technology is the basis for the dose rate calculations in those products. The algorithm and prototypes were tested using data from Kewaunee. You can find out more information about the algorithm and demonstrations in the following EPRI resources. I embedded links to the first two documents. The third one will be available to the public soon. The important thing to note is that the algorithm will be made available to the public for their use. We want to encourage our utility members and the vendor community to use our algorithm so that more advanced planning tools can be developed for the industry. Coincidentally, there's going to be a Webinar on May 1st that talks about using gaming technology to manage worker exposure (see information below). You may be interested in listening to it. It's being sponsored by Siemens and Microsoft but they have invited me to speak about the EPRI work since it plays an integral role in their product. I would also be happy to speak with you individually to discuss our work further. Just let me know if you would like me to set something up. Publicly available EPRI resources: 1.
