Waste Estimation Support Tool

  • The RDD Waste Estimation Support Tool is a planning tool for estimating the volume and radioactivity levels of waste generated by a radiological incident (especially RDDs) and determining subsequent decontamination efforts. Though not developed for INDs, the Waste Estimation Support Tool can still be useful. The Waste Estimation Support Tool allows users to evaluate various decontamination/demolition strategies to examine the impacts of those strategies on secondary waste generation (e.g., estimating the amount of debris produced by demolitions). The Waste Estimation Support Tool is run from the user’s computer after downloading the necessary software from http://cfpub.epa.gov/si/si_public_record_report.cfm?dirEntryId=246738 (as of June 2015) and a technical contact is available via the website.
