GENII
Quality Assurance (QA)
Both GENII versions were developed under QA plans based on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard NQA-1 as implemented in the PNNL Quality Assurance Manual. All steps of the code development have been documented and tested, and hand calculations have verified the code's implementation of major transport and exposure pathways for a subset of the radionuclide library. A collection of hand calculations and other verification activities is available. A comprehensive test plan has been developed and testing is underway. The code has been reviewed by the EPA Science Advisory Board and a separate EPA-sponsored, independent peer review panel. The QA of both GENII Version 1.485 and Version 2 have been reviewed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE 2003; 2004).
Please note: An error has been reported in the FRAMES viewers used with GENII. In certain instances, when radionuclides are included but no HIF output is generated for the radionuclide, the various HIF viewers will produce incorrect results. (This does not affect the GENII Report Generator.) A fix has been prepared and a new version will be issued shortly.
