RISKIND: Transportation Risk Code
A key component of the transportation risk methodology used within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is the RISKIND computer program. RISKIND was developed by EVS with the support of the U.S. DOE Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management in response to the need expressed by concerned groups for a more complete and consistent assessment methodology. The program was developed for analyzing the potential radiological health consequences to individuals or specific population subgroups exposed to radiation materials. RISKIND is designed to address the local, scenario-specific (i.e., "what if") concerns frequently encountered in environmental assessment activities (including public scooping processes) performed under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 or other environmental requirements.
