EXCOMP: an exposure comparison methodology

When designing new facilities or modifying existing facilities that involve radioactive material, handling or processing, an area of concern is the radiological exposure received by facility personnel and the environment. The computerized models that are currently used for exposure evaluations are capable of evaluating only one relationship at a time, i.e., the effects of one source, its strength and location, on one work location. EXCOMP (EXposure COMParison) is a methodology developed for the IBM-PC to evaluate radiological exposures. It is capable of evaluating each identified work location in a facility with respect to each identified source effecting it
