Modeling Toolbox: Basic Modeling Tools
Hotspot
The Hotspot Health Physics codes were created to provide emergency response personnel and emergency planners with a fast, field-portable set of software tools for evaluating incidents involving radioactive material. The model software is also used for safety-analysis of facilities handling nuclear material.
Hotspot provides a fast and usually conservative means for estimating the radiation effects associated with the short-term (less than 24 hours) atmospheric release of radioactive materials. The Hotspot codes have been developed for the Windows 95/98/00/NT/XP operating systems.
CAMEO
This
is a system of software applications used widely to plan for and respond to chemical emergencies. It is one of the tools developed by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office (CEPPO) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Response and Restoration , to assist front-line chemical emergency planners and responders.
They can use CAMEO to access, store, and evaluate information critical for developing emergency plans. In addition, CAMEO supports regulatory compliance by helping users meet the chemical inventory reporting requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.
