[en] PC CREAM is a Windows based software package which implements CREAM (Consequences of Releases to the Environment Assessment Methodology). CREAM was developed to assess the consequence of radioactive discharges as a result of normal operations. The methodology consists of a series of interlinked models which describe the transfer of radionuclides through the atmospheric, terrestrial and aquatic environments, the pathways by which people may be exposed to radiation and the resulting health detriment. The package contains models for the following processes; atmospheric dispersion; external irradiation from activity in air; transfer through food chains; resuspension of deposited activity; external irradiation from deposited activity; dispersion in the marine environment; discharge to river systems; external irradiation from both marine and freshwater sediments. PC CREAM has been developed to calculate radiation exposure to individuals as well as the collective dose to specific population groups.In this study, the models and parameters of PC-CREAM (version 1998) are assessed as well as calculated results of reference emissions by comparing them with results, calculated conform the guidelines for the Dutch situation. The study is subdivided into emissions in air and in water. It is concluded that for the Netherlands PC-CREAM needs to be adjusted such that specific areas and processes within those areas, that ar not yet covered by PC-CREAM, will be covered also. 13 refs
