Chesapeake Nuclear Services, Inc. software

Chesnuc, in collaboration with Radiation Safety Associated, developed an innovative technology for measuring environmental levels of radioactive contamination. CRATER was designed to support remediation and decommission activities. The system integrates Nal(TI) detectors with specially developed gamma spectral analytical techniques to provide a unique method for screening bulk materials for elevated levels of radioactive materials.

RETSCode is user-friendly Microsoft Windows PC-based software that performs all of the calculations and reporting as required by a nuclear power plant`s Radioactive Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS) and Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). RETSCode has been designed for easy customization to each plant`s ODCM and operating procedures; it is not an off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all product.
