Investigations on the safety of radioactive materials transport. Pt. 1.2. Calculation of activity limits - permitted limits. Final report on the working package 4

One aim of this project 3611R03300 was the analysis of the methods for the calculation of exemption values and the development of software for the calculation following the EU Principles and Methods of Radiation Protection 65 (RP 65). A program was devel-oped using Microsoft Excel-VBA. In this document, the development and underlying model is described. A comparison of the newly calculated values with the tabulated values of RP 65 shows a very good agreement. During the development a lot of deficiencies of the RP 65 documentation became evi-dent, precluding the expansion of the program for the calculation of new exemption values. Especially the methods for the calculation of nuclide specific parameters could not be reproduced partly.
