EV38 - PEP 2 A RESRAD-BIOTA Code for the Evaluation of Radiological Doses to Flora and Fauna (Yu, Kamboj, Cheng, LePoire)Lake Concord 10:30 - 12:30 |
| RESRAD-BIOTA is part of the RESRAD Family of Codes developed by Argonne National Laboratory. It is designed for demonstrating compliance with the dose rate criteria set in Department of Energy (DOE) Order 458.1 and implements the graded approach methodology described in DOE Standard DOE-STD-1153-2019. The development of RESRAD-BIOTA was sponsored by DOE, with support from US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the US Environmental Protection Agency. The RESRAD-BIOTA code provides a complete spectrum of biota dose evaluation capabilities, ranging from generic screening to comprehensive receptor-specific dose estimation. The implementation of the DOE graded approach methodology in the RESRAD-BIOTA code will be demonstrated with examples. The advanced analysis capabilities in RESRAD-BIOTA code, including geometry-based dose coefficients, organism wizard, food chain model, and sensitivity and probabilistic analysis, etc., will be discussed. |
