From the PSEG Nuclear REMP/RETS team: Our ODCM is based on NUREG-0133 methodology. For that the existing software is EMS a VMS language which is being replaced with OpenEMS from Canberra. We do have the GASPAR program, but it is used only for a check of the doses based upon current (last years) annual average meteorology (X/Q, D/Q). The ODCM uses conservative default X/Q, D/Q values based on 5 year meteorology. Doug

We've used a computer code called PARTS that was published in NUREG-0133 over 30 years ago to determine the dose factors (the Ri tables for each identified radionuclide for an age-specific given pathway, both inhalation and food/ground plane at the controlling location in each sector). The FORTRAN compiled PARTS version we have requires old 32-bit computers, something not so easy to find anymore and our IT folks said we need to find some newer software. Can you experts out there tell me what software you use for this annual process? Are GASPAR or NRCDose the newer options? Thanks, Eric Goldin, CHP <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> or <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> P.S. I'll be at the HPS Mid-year in Norfolk in a few weeks if anyone will be there to walk me thru the process you use. ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this e-mail, including any attachment(s), is intended solely for use by the named addressee(s).
