The Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) has two major assets it uses to perform it responsibilities for responding to a radiological emergency. These are the National Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability (NARAC) and Turbo FRMAC. Recently NARAC updated their deposition model to the state of the art Petroff and Zhang model leading to a significant discrepancy between these two assets in regards to deposition modeling. This report describes the investigation into an appropriate deposition model for Turbo FRMAC to bring the two assets back into line. The ultimate conclusion is that Petroff and Zhang is too complicated for Turbo FRMAC, but the model of Feng is not and is equal to Petroff and Zhang in predictive capability.
