Our Goal To combine the best features of RASCAL with a site specific front end to create a user friendly interface for the occasional end user.

RASCAL Provides many methods for performing dose assessments. Has new plume dispersion and deposition models Is often times the compared “standard” for licensees. Is free to the licensee

RASCAL Does not have a direct method allowing the use of licensee’s effluent monitors Is generically written for all sites in the US Can be difficult for the occasional user to run with consistency Usually requires more extensive procedures and longer training times

Licensee Dose Assessment Programs Typically simplified for the licensee’s needs Users “recognize” terminology, site specific components, release pathways, etc… Allow for the use of effluent monitors direct readings.

Licensee Dose Assessment Program Typically requires a third party contractor to maintain Will probably require extensive upgrades due to the changes with the new modeling used by RASCAL Expensive up keep costs.

Our Goal Write a site specific front end the user will be comfortable with and calculate an isotopic release rate Use RASCAL’s “Effluent Release Rates - by Nuclide” methodology to process the assessment. Use RASCAL’s meteorological, plume and puff modeling programs to calculate the doses Read RASCAL’s results files to present the doses in a site specific format.

Results Created a very adaptable front and back end to RASCAL which will be utilized at Entergy and Exelon sites Integrated the RASCAL processors including the new dispersion and deposition models Licensee assessments are very close to RASCAL since the dispersion and deposition models are identical

Long term The Licensee maintains control of the interface Reduced training costs Typically the interface will not need significant upgrades or changes If the NRC changes the RASCAL processor programs the licensee won’t need to change the interface
