Impact/Purpose:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Integrated Radiological Remediation Decision Support Tool (IRR-DST) is a novel tool for evaluating decontamination technologies and the associated resource demand required to remediate areas of elevated radioactive contamination identified by gamma-ray imaging technology.
Description:
The Integrated Radiological Remediation Decision Support Tool (IRR-DST) was developed to help decision makers better understand potential options for decontamination and the consequences those options may have on remediation efforts (i.e., systems approach). The IRR-DST is an easily deployable spreadsheet for rapidly evaluating decontamination options using the magnitude and extent of contamination derived from gamma-ray imaging.
