The computer program AERIN is a computational version of the model for the behavior of inhaled radionuclides developed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Task Group on Lung Dynamics. To this end, the program will compute and plot the burden of radioactivity versus time in various portions of the lung and lymph nodes that result from chronic or acute inhalation of a radionuclide. In addition to describing the basic ICRP lung model, the program has been extended to compute the burden of inhaled plutonium deposited in the liver and bones that has been transported there via the lungs or lymph nodes and the rate of plutonium excretion via the urine and feces. Finally, the program will compute the average radiation dose delivered to each organ by the inhaled radionuclide.
