The development and maintenance of the SimER Code
Quintessa has developed a first version of the SimER code, which was delivered to BNFL at the end of June 2004. The code is a powerful tool for application to both the near-surface disposal of low-level radioactive wastes and contaminated land studies. The code represents a major advance in the capability of performance-assessment level codes; it has capabilities that cannot be found in any commercially available software at the present time. Training courses have been given and a paper has been written for presentation at the ICEM05 international conference in September 2005, which notes that SimER is:
'designed for … assessments of environmental remediation and other end points associated with contaminated land, and … radioactive waste disposal. SimER represents a major advance in safety assessment modelling. It offers a unique range of functionality that, until now, has not been available in any single safety assessment tool.'
