RRI Rad Calc is a spreadsheet program, using Microsoft Excel, that performs the calculations necessary to determine the applicability of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) for radioactive materials classification and categorization.  The calculated results include activity determinations for the definition of Class 7 material (both distributed throughout and surface contaminated), activity determinations for all Class 7 shipping options (i.e., Type A, limited quantity, LSA material), fissile or fissile excepted status with supporting reference for the exception, SCO calculation results including the SCO-II short-cut offered in NUREG-1608, HRCQ results, reportable quantity results, label categorization, and more.  Quantities can be entered in TBq, Ci or grams.  It’s an easy-to-use program that provides a one-page summary of your material.
