The transportation risk evaluation code RADTRAN 4 is designed to evaluate doses and risks associated with the transportation of radioactive materials (Ne92). RADTRAN 4 may be used to calculate dose consequences for incident-free transportation and dose risks for accidents. Consequences of normal (or incident-free) transportation include doses to crew members, persons at stops, and members of the public sharing a route segment (on-link) and residing near the segment (off-link) during normal transportation. These dose estimates are not multiplied by a probability factor and, hence, are referred to as dose consequences. Calculated doses that might be incurred during accidents are multiplied by the probabilities of those accidents, and hence are referred to as dose risks. RADTRAN 4 includes a LINK option that allows the user to characterize each link or segment of a transportation route in greater detail than that provided by average or default values for route-related parameters.
