Computer Modeling Codes for Chemical and Radiological Releases

This page contains links to software of interest in predicting consequences of contamination.

Bruce Napier presented an overview of the subject on the Health Physics "Ask the Expert" web page. The text of his paper: Computer Modeling Codes for Chemical and Radiological Releases is available here in Adobe Acrobat format. Bruce discusses several codes:

• HOTSPOT
• RASCAL
• ARAC
• GENII
• MACCS2
• EPIcode - not available on web, reference: Homann (Homann Associates, Inc.), 1988, EPIcode- (Emergency Prediction Information Manual), Homann Associates, Inc., Fremont, California.
• CAMEO at EPA
• CAMEO at NOAA
• CHARM dead link 7/25/2001
• ISC-3
• HPAC

Additional air quality and ground water software is cataloged by the Open Directory Project. These links have not been evaluated by QECC staff, and are presented here on a "user beware" basis.
