RESRAD connection for facilitating MARSSIM analysis : an illustration of applying the OpenLink concept.
The focus of this work is to more tightly integrate tools traditionally used in MARSSIM (Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual) final status survey design. MARSSIM provides guidance on appropriate methodologies for establishing that dose or risk-based standards for a site contaminated with radionuclides have been achieved. RESidual RADioactive (RESRAD) codes are used by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and other federal agencies to convert dose-based cleanup criteria to site-specific-derived concentration guideline level (DCGL) requirements. By implementing MARSSIM concepts directly within RESRAD, users can now directly generate site-specific DCGL requirements and associated area factors.
