RESRAD Training
RESRAD Family of Codes Training (Five Codes)
May 19-23, 2025 – Virtual, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM CDT (13:30 to 22:00 UTC) each day
Registration: $1950
This training workshop provides technical personnel and managers with an overview, calculation methodology, input parameter requirements, and application of the RESRAD Family of Codes, including RESRAD-ONSITE, RESRAD-OFFSITE, RESRAD-BUILD, RESRAD-BIOTA, and RESRAD-RDD analysis. Interactive computer demonstrations guide the participants through data input and result analysis. Instructor support helps the students complete hands-on problem solving throughout the workshop. Special features such as sensitivity analysis as well as code verification and validation will be discussed. Electronic training materials include presentation handouts, user's manual, benchmarking report, and problem workbook. All participants after successful completion of the training course will receive training certificates from Argonne.

Policies
It is Argonne policy that payment needs to be received before the workshop starts. Additionally, international attendees will not have access granted until an ANL-593 form is completed and approved.
There is a $150 cancellation fee per workshop cancelled. No substitution due to security policy, and no refunds after April 18, 2025. Refunds of credit card payments will be issued to the original credit card. Workshops are subject to cancellation for any reason, including security or lack of sufficient attendees. However, if a workshop is cancelled by us, the registration fee will be transferred to a future workshop, or refunded in full upon request.

Sponsoring a Workshop
Course Description: This five-day training workshop provides technical personnel and managers with an overview, history, calculation methodology, input parameter requirements, and application of the RESRAD-ONSITE, RESRAD-OFFSITE, and RESRAD-BUILD codes. RESRAD-OFFSITE code is an extension of the RESRAD-ONSITE code. The Gaussian plume air dispersion and groundwater radionuclide transport model will be presented as well as the off-site accumulation of radionuclides in soils and surface water body. RESRAD-BUILD evaluates indoor building contamination. Both deterministic and probabilistic dose analysis techniques and special features such as sensitivity analysis as well as code verification and validation will be discussed. Interactive computer demonstrations guide the participants through data input and output steps. Instructor support helps the students complete the hands-on problem solving sessions throughout the workshop. Training materials include presentation handouts, user's manual, benchmarking report, and problem workbook. All participants after successful completion of the training course will receive RESRAD-ONSITE, RESRAD-OFFSITE, and RESRAD-BUILD Training Certificates from Argonne.
Sponsoring a workshop requires 10-12 IBM-PC compatible computers and a meeting space. Workshops can be taught to groups of 10 to 25 participants, preferably two per computer. For information about sponsoring a workshop, please contact Charley Yu at 630-252-5589 or send email to [email protected]

RESRAD-BIOTA, RESRAD-RDD, and Advanced RESRAD-OFFSITE & RESRAD-BUILD: The first half of the workshop covers two RESRAD family of codes. The first one, RESRAD‑BIOTA, is dealing with evaluation of radiological dose to animals and plants. The second one is the RESRAD-RDD code, which is designed for emergency response to nuclear incidents. The second half of the workshop explores advanced topics and applications of the RESRAD-OFFSITE and RESRAD-BUILD codes. (It is highly recommended that attendees take the regular RESRAD-ONSITE, RESRAD-OFFSITE, and RESRAD-BUILD training course before taking this advanced course.) Interactive computer demonstrations guide the participants through data input and result analysis. Instructor support helps the students complete the hands-on problem-solving sessions throughout the workshop. Training materials include presentation handouts, user's manual, benchmarking report, and problem workbook. All participants after successful completion of the training course will receive training certificates from Argonne.
