ProcDaD Nuclear Reactor Accident Assessment

ProcDaD: Procedure for Dispersion and Dosimetry

The ProcDAD calculates radiation doses and potential radiation-induced health effects from onset to100 years after a nuclear reactor accident. The code predicts the spatial and temporal distribution of the radioactivity in air and on the ground. The optimization process uses the trends in the measured and predicted airborne concentrations and exposure rates to estimate an effective time-dependent source term. Thus, the predicted doses are based on the effective-time-dependent source term.

ProcDAD is an integration of three computer codes: RDAD, ASSESS, and PRIEM. A description of ProcDaD is detailed in:
