This paper presents an approach for modifying select US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) computer codes for use on an IBM microcomputer and/or compatibles. The three codes selected are GALE, GASPAR, and LADTAP. These codes are used by utilities, architect/engineering firms, and various governing bodies for estimating normal operational radiological releases and impacts. Originally written for large mainframe computers, they have been transferred to smaller minicomputer systems without any real conversion of the structure of the codes.
