                  CHANGES TO THE COMPUTER CODE COLLECTION
   Six changes were made to the computer code collection during
  the month. Three new code systems were packaged and added to the
  collection, two existing code packages were replaced with newly frozen
  versions,  and one code package was extended with an additional hardware
  version.
  _________________________________________________________________
  CCC-254/ANISN-ORNL
  OP SYS: DOS, VMS, AIX
  Language:   Fortran
  Computers: IBM, Cray, VAX, PC, IBM RISC
  Format: DOS
  Oak Ridge National Laboratory contributed a new hardware version of
  ANISN-ORNL for IBM RISC 6000 computers, and Battelle in Columbus,
  Ohio, contributed a newly frozen version for personal computers. This
  discrete ordinates transport code system with anisotropic scattering
  solves the one-dimensional Boltzmann transport equation for neutrons
  or gamma rays in slab, sphere, or cylindrical geometry. The source
  may be fixed, fission, or a subcritical combination of the two. A
  criticality search may be performed on any one of several parameters.
  Cross sections may be weighted using the space and energy dependent
  flux generated in solving the transport equation.
   The IBM RISC 6000 version was tested under AIX 3.2.5 using the
  XLF 2.3 compiler. The Lahey Fortran F77L-EM/32 version 5.1 compiler
  was used with the virtual memory linker under DOS 6.2 to create the
  executables in the PC package, which includes the source and executables
  for ANISN, BCBN, and DSNQUAD. The programs run under DOS 3.3 or higher.
  The PC version runs on 386 or 486 personal computers and requires
  at least 4 megabytes of memory, a 20 megabyte hard disk, and a math
  co-processor, though a faster run time is achieved with six or more
  MB of memory. ANISN-ORNL is also operable on the IBM 3033, CRAY XMP-2,
  or VAX/VMS family of computers. Each version is available on one DS/HD
  5.25-inch (1.2 MB) diskette in self-extracting compressed DOS files.

  CCC-508/RADTRAN4
  OP SYS: VMS
  Language:   Fortran 77
  Computers: VAX
  Format: DOS
  Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico, contributed
  a newly frozen version of RADTRAN, designated Version 4. It combines
  user-defined meteorological, demographic, transportation, packaging,
  and material factors with health physics data to calculate the expected
  radiological consequences and risks resulting from the shipment of
  radioactive material. All modes of commercial transport (i.e., air,
  truck, rail, and water) are examined. Radiological consequences of
  incident-free transportation, as well as the radiological risks from
  vehicular accidents occurring during transportation, can be evaluated.
  RADTRAN4 contains advances in the handling of route-related data and
  in the treatment of multiple-isotope materials.
   The source is written in Fortran 77; but only executable files
  are distributed for RADTRAN4, which runs on DEC VAX computers under
  VMS. The package is distributed on one DS/HD 3.5-in. (1.44 MB) diskette
  in DOS format. References: SAND89-2370 (Jan. 1992). Fortran 77; VAX
  (C00508/D0VAX/00).
  _________________________________________________________________
  CCC-552/RESRAD 5.05
  OP SYS: DOS
  Language:   Fortran 77
  Computers: PC
  Format: DOS
  Argonne National Laboratory contributed a newly frozen version of
  this code system to calculate site-specific residual radioactive
  material guidelines and radiation dose and excess cancer risk to an
  on-site resident. Version 5 incorporates a number of new features
  including the addition of graphical output to display computational
  results and any sensitivity analyses requested. The user interface
  has been enhanced by the introduction of a menu system. Two of the
  nine exposure pathways are new: radon inhalation and soil ingestion.
  Further improvements include the ability to run sensitivity analyses
  on most RESRAD parameters, optional input of groundwater radionuclide
  concentrations, optional user-specified dose factors and transfer
  factors, an improved groundwater transport model, optional input of
  a solubility constant, special models for tritium and carbon-14,
  calculation of cancer incidence risks, and context-specific help files.
  The calculational phase also reflects many improvements.
   The Lahey F77L/EM32 and Microsoft Quick BASIC Version 7.1 software
  packages were used to create the executable included in the package.
  Note that the source files are not included in the package, which
  is distributed on one DS/HD 5.25-in. (1.2 MB) diskette in self-
  extracting compressed DOS files. Reference: ANL/EAD/LD-2 (Sept. 1993)
  and ANL/EAIS-8 (April 1993). Fortran 77; IBM PC (C00552/IBMPC/01).
  _________________________________________________________________
  CCC-623/RISKIND
  OP SYS: DOS
  Language:   Fortran 77, BASIC
  Computers: PC
  Format: DOS
  Argonne National Laboratory through the Energy Science and Technology
  Software Center (ESTSC), Oak Ridge, Tenn., contributed this code system
  for calculating radiological consequences and health risks from the
  transportation of spent nuclear fuel by truck or rail. Several models
  tailored to calculate the exposure to individuals under various
  incident-free and accident conditions are included in RISKIND. The
  incident-free models assess exposures from both gamma-ray and neutron
  radiation and can account for different cask designs. The accident
  models include accidental release, atmospheric transport, and the
  environmental pathways of radionuclides from spent fuels; these models
  also assess health risks to individuals and the collective population.
   RISKIND runs on IBM PC or equivalent personal computers. The
  executables included in the package were created with the Lahey Fortran
  and Microsoft BASIC compilers. Source files are not distributed with
  the package, which is transmitted on one DS/HD 5.25-in. (1.2 MB)
  diskette in self-extracting compressed DOS files. References: ANL/EAIS-
  6, Rev. 0 (March 1993). Fortran 77 and BASIC; IBM PC (C00623/IBMPC/00).

  PSR-343/COMIDA
  OP SYS: DOS
  Language:   Fortran 77
  Computers: MANY
  Format: DOS
  Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, EG&G Idaho Inc., Idaho Falls,
  Idaho, contributed the COMIDA code system for estimating radionuclide
  concentrations in agricultural food products following an acute fallout
  event. COMIDA estimates yearly harvest concentrations for five human
  crop types (Bq kg(Sup)-1 crop per Bq m(Sup)-2 deposited) and integrated
  concentrations for four animal products (Bq d kg(Sup)-1 animal product
  per Bq m(Sup)-2) for a unit deposition that occurs on any user-specified
  day of the year. COMIDA is structurally very similar to the PATHWAY
  model (Whicker and Kirchner 1987) and includes the same seasonal
  transport processes and discrete events for soil and vegetation
  compartments. Animal product assimilation is modeled using simpler
  equilibrium models. Differential transport and ingrowth of up to three
  radioactive progeny (the sample input problems include progeny for
  (Sup)93Mo and (Sup)93Nb) are also evaluated.
   The system runs on IBM PC and compatibles with implementation
  possible on DEC VAX, IBM RISC, and CRAY. The Lahey F77L3/EM32 compiler
  was used to create the executable file included in the package, which
  is transmitted on one DS/HD 5.25-in. (1.2 MB) diskette in DOS format.

  PSR-345/SNL-SAND-II
  OP SYS: SUN
  Language:   Fortran 77
  Computers: SUN
  Format: tar
  Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico, contributed
  this code system for neutron flux spectra determination by multiple
  foil activation using the iterative method. SNL-SAND-II is an enhanced
  version of W. McElroy's original CCC-112/SAND-II code. The enhanced
  input, output, and plotting interfaces make this code much easier
  to use, although the basic physics and operation of the code remain
  unchanged. Important code enhancements include interfaces to the latest
  ENDF/B-VI and IRDF-90 dosimetry-quality cross sections with DLC-
  178/SNLRML and the ability to use silicon displacement-sensitive devices
  as dosimetry sensors.
   SNL-SAND-II was tested at RSIC on both a Sun Sparcstation SLC
  running SUN OS 4.1.1, Open Windows 2, using SUN FORTRAN 1.4 and on
  a SUN Sparcstation 2 running Solaris 2.3 using SUN FORTRAN 2.0. ACE/gr
  V2.09 (P. J. Turner, Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and
  Technology) is included as an aid in data visualization. The package
  is transmitted on either DC 6150 (150 MB), 4-mm DAT (2.3 or 8 GB),
  or 8-mm (2.3 GB) cartridge tapes in tar format. References: SAND93-3957

  =================================================================
                  CHANGE TO THE DATA LIBRARY COLLECTION
   One new data library was packaged and added to the data library
  collection during the month.
  _________________________________________________________________
  D00178/SNLRML
  OP SYS: DOS
  Language:
  Computers: ALL
  Format: DOS
  Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico, contributed
  this recommended dosimetry cross section compendium, designated SNLRML,
  which was prepared by taking the latest and most consistent dosimetry-
  oriented cross sections from all available evaluations. Many of the
  components come from ENDF/B-VI and IRDF-90 (DLC-161) libraries. The
  contents of the library include all dosimetry sensors (activation
  reactions, threshold reactions, fission reactions, and special damage
  sensors) that are in general use by the dosimetry community for the
  characterization of fission neutron spectra. SNLRML contains 69
  dosimetry cross sections and associated covariance matrices in the
  SAND-II 640-group energy structure. The SNLRML library has been
  interfaced with spectrum determination codes and found to produce
  consistent spectrum "unfolds" with more sensors than were possible
  with previous libraries. It is recommended for use with the PSR-345/SNL-
  SAND-II package and is transmitted on one DS/HD 5.25-in. (1.2 MB)
  diskette in DOS format. Reference: SAND92-0094 (Nov. 1993). All
