“…The first PC version was titled version 1.0 however in the previous manual it is referred to as MAXDOSE-SR and POPDOSE-SR with no version number specified. Refer to the previous manual for verification between mainframe and the 1.0 PC versions (Simpkins 1999 andSimpkins 2000). The 2011 version of the dose models was compiled using the Portland Group, Inc.…”

MAXDOSE-SR and POPDOSE-SR are used to calculate dose to the offsite Reference Person and to the surrounding Savannah River Site (SRS) population respectively following routine releases of atmospheric radioactivity. These models are currently accessed through the Dose Model Version 2014 graphical user interface (GUI). MAXDOSE-SR and POPDOSE-SR are personal computer (PC) versions of MAXIGASP and POPGASP, which both resided on the SRS IBM Mainframe. These two codes follow U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) Regulatory Guides 1.109 and 1.111 (1977a, 1977b). The basis for MAXDOSE-SR and POPDOSE-SR are USNRC developed codes XOQDOQ (Sagendorf et. al 1982) and GASPAR (Eckerman et. al 1980). Both of these codes have previously been verified for use at SRS (Simpkins 1999 and 2000). The revisions incorporated into MAXDOSE-SR and POPDOSE-SR Version 2014 (hereafter referred to as MAXDOSE-SR and POPDOSE-SR unless otherwise noted) were made per Computer Program Modification Tracker (CPMT) number Q-CMT-A-00016 (Appendix D). Version 2014 was verified for use at SRS in Dixon (2014).

“…Given the source terms estimated above, the methods contained within MAXDOSE-SR (Simpkins 1999) can be used to estimate downwind dose. MAXDOSE-SR is an atmospheric dispersion model used to estimate dose for routine releases and applies a straight-line Gaussian plume model.…”

Worker dose estimates have been made for various exposure scenarios resulting from the relocation of soil from the H Area Retention Basin (HRB) to the Old Radioactive Waste Burial Ground (ORWBG) at the Savannah River Site (SRS). Estimates were performed by hand calculations and using RESRAD (Yu et al. 2001) and MAXDOSE (Simpkins 1999). Doses were estimated for the following pathways: (1) shine and inhalation as a result of standing on contaminated soil at HRB and ORWBG; (2) exposure to off-unit receptors due to soil disturbances from excavation type activities at HRB and ORWBG; (3) exposure to off-unit receptors due to soil disturbances from dumping of soil from bucket and from roll-off pan; and (4) exposure to off-unit receptors from wind driven dust from contaminated area. The highest dose estimates (0.25 mSv hr-1) resulted from the receptor standing on HRB.
