This document describes the NEFTRAN-S computer code and is intended to provide the reader with enough information to use the code. NEFTRAN-S was developed for the United States Environmental Protection Agency for the assessment of ground-water flow and radionuclide transport from radioactive waste disposal in geologic formations. NEFTRAN-S is a successor to the NEFTRAN code. The code was developed in conjunction with NEFTRAN-2, which was developed recently for the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. As a result, some of the features contained in NEFTRAN-2 have been included in NEFTRAN-S. In particular, NEFTRAN-S includes an exponential-leach-rate source, decoupled time steps for source and transport, and an option for inputting pore-water velocities. Features unique to NEFTRAN-S include a user-friendly format for use on personal computers and coupling with statistical sampling and analysis using the SUNS software shell. This document was written to provide a comprehensive discussion of the NEFTRAN-S code including its history, the theory, its use and examples of possible applications. Minimal reference to previous documents is intended. 25 refs., 132 figs., 30 tabs.
