SV: [ RadSafe ] RESRAD 6.4 and RESRAD-BUILD 3.4 Released

[Olsson Mattias :MSO]

Hi all,

There was a notice some days ago about a new version of RESRAD. I did some asking in my surroundings and heard the opinion (although biased) that a code called ECOLEGO does all that RESRAD does, but with more flexibility etc. For me who hasn't used any of these codes (yet) it would be good to know if there are other opinions on this! One important question is always what the authorities use and accept as validated tools.

Best regards,

Mattias Olsson, Sweden

-----Ursprungligt meddelande-----
Argonne National Laboratory has released new versions of RESRAD (onsite)
(V.6.4) and RESRAD-BUILD (V.3.4) codes. These codes now share the same radionuclide database and include ICRP 72 age-dependent dose conversion factors. RESRAD codes can be downloaded from the RESRAD web site (http://www.evs.anl.gov/resrad). Both codes have been tested successfully on Windows Vista and XP operating systems. The development of RESRAD codes are sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. For questions and comments on RESRAD codes, please send email to resrad at anl.gov.
