GENIIGENIIGENIIGENII
A set of computer programs for estimation of radionuclide concentrations in the environment and the resulting dose and/or risk to humans from:
• Acute or chronic exposures to• Releases to surface water or atmosphere, or• Initial contamination conditions
![Page 3: GENII Version 2.0 Overview and Examples](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813be7550346895da5153d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Types of ScenariosTypes of ScenariosTypes of ScenariosTypes of Scenarios
• A scenario is a conceptual model that describes patterns of human activity, events, and processes that result in radiation exposure to people.
• Far-Field scenarios• Atmospheric transport (Acute or chronic)• Surface water transport (Acute or chronic)
• Near-Field scenarios• Spills• Buried waste• (Groundwater use - GW transport modeling is NOT an
explicit part of GENII)

Uncertainty AnalysisUncertainty AnalysisUncertainty AnalysisUncertainty Analysis
• Parameter uncertainty and sensitivity may be addressed using the SUM3 processor in FRAMES.
• All non-control parameters are allowed to be varied, using description files to define ‘available’ parameters

When all lights in the local space are yellow, run each module in sequence.
When all lights are green, intermediate and final results can be viewed by right clicking on any module icon and
selecting View/Print Module Output.
