RE: Software for Dose from Water Pathway

["Adam, William J" <WJAdam@mail.bhi-erc.com>]

Ed:

At DOE's direction, we've been using RESRAD (for "free-release of buildings"
we would use RESRAD-BUILD)for about three years now for verification of
groundwater and soil cleanup levels.  I agree GENII can do this too, its
just that RESRAD is much more user (read WINDOWS)friendly.

Sorry Bill
RESRAD is basically only good for performing MARRSIM calcs for the free
release of buildings with residual radioactivity.  You need a code similar
to GENII (gen-2) to perform the calcs that Mary needs to run.
