The upcoming 2017 domestic Radiation Protection Code Analysis and Maintenance Program (RAMP) User Group meeting will be held 16–20 October 2017 at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) headquarters in Rockville, Maryland.

Meeting participation includes code training workshops and numerous opportunities to interact with code developers/experts and fellow code users to learn, share experiences, and suggest improvements.

RAMP is coordinated by the NRC, and its membership includes both domestic and international organizations.

The purpose of RAMP is to support efforts to obtain a well thought out view of the accuracy and validity of NRC radiation protection/dose assessment (RP/DA) computer codes over their range of applicability, while suggesting possible improvements, as needed, to the codes.

• RASCAL

• PIMAL

• SNAP/RADTRAD

• DandD

• HABIT

• GENII

• VARSKIN

• MILDOS

• GALE
