AXAIRQ is the primary dose assessment code used at the Savannah River Site to predict downwind doses following a hypothetical atmospheric release of relatively short duration. Purpose is to perform calculations for safety-related documentation, and AXAIRQ strictly adheres to the guidance in US NRC Regulatory Guide 1.145 (USNRC 1982) entitled Atmospheric Dispersion Models for Potential Accident Consequence Assessments at Nuclear Power Plants. Doses are determined for the plume shine, ground shine, and inhalation pathways. Ingestion is not considered.
