Onsite disposal of commercial radioactive waste: the onsite/MAXI1 computer program
Description
The objective of this study was to modify an existing environmental pathways-to-humans model and accompanying computer program (MAXI1) for use by NRC staff for assessing potential radiological impacts resulting from the onsite burial of low-level radioactive wastes. As part of this effort, specific human-intrusion scenarios were developed to consider various routes of potential exposure, which included direct external exposure, inhalation, and ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs and drinking water. A computer software package, entitled ONSITE/MAXI1, was developed to project potential exposures based on these scenarios
