The Department of Energy (DOE) maintains a number of atmospheric dispersion models at several facilities. DOE applies modeling for Risk Assessment, Emergency Response, and Regulatory Compliance. The Rocky Flats Plant is developing a dispersion/dose code to meet DOE and other governmental requirements for dispersion modeling at the Rocky Flats Plant. The Terrain-Responsive Atmospheric Code (TRAC) is designed to realistically simulate the involved atmospheric conditions that occur around complex sites such as the Rocky Flats. Our approach complements the fundamental research programs at DOE National Laboratories and other facilities. Proven research results are quickly transferred from the literature to applied use. In this way, the benefits of DOE-funded basic research are most rapidly realized. 16 refs., 22 figs., 13 tabs.
