Radtran: What it Does, How it Works, How to User It
Sunday, 9 March 2008, 8:00 - 5:00
RADTRAN, developed and copyright by Sandia National Labs, is a program that assesses risks and consequences of transporting radioactive materials. RADTRAN, bundled with the input file generator RADCAT, is downloadable and runs on any PC. The workshop will present the theoretical bases for the RADTRAN code and how it works, and will provide hands-on training in the use of RADTRAN. Potential attendees should fill out the application to download RADCAT/RADTRAN from https://radtran.sandia.gov/radcat and should also download the RADCAT user guide. Approcval to download RADCAT/RDTRAN takes no more than a day or two. For radioactive materials transportation in the United States, RADTRAN uses the routing code TRAGIS, a client-server program run out of ORNL. Anyone wishing to use TRAGIS should apply viw the website https://tragis.ornl.gov; approval to use TRAGIS may take a week or more. TRAGIS will also be demonstrated at the workshop.
Workshop Leaders: Ruth Weiner, Doug Osborn, Matt Dennis
