The course provides an overview of the use, modeling, & applications of the Radiological Safety Analysis Computer Program. RSAC-6 calculates the consequences of the release of radionuclides to the atmosphere. Using a PC, a user can generate a fission product inventory; decay and in-grow the inventory during transport through processes, facilities, and the environment; model the downwind dispersion of the activity; and calculate doses to downwind individuals. RSAC-6 calculates internal doses from the inhalation and ingestion pathways, and external doses from the ground surface and plume gamma pathways. Strengths of RSAC-6 are its ability to model releases from criticality accidents and to accurately calculate plume gamma doses using a finite plume model when semi-infinite model conditions do not exist. A copy of RSAC-6 will be issued.
