MARSSIM Power (http://www.gogolak.org)

MARSSIM Power provides an easy-to-use application for evaluating alternative survey designs, calculating exact numbers of samples, and preparing prospective and retrospective power curves as described in MARSSIM. Download the latest version of MARSSIM Power and program information.

Visual Sample Plan (http://dqo.pnl.gov/vsp/)

Visual Sample Plan provides statistical solutions to sampling design, mathematical and statistical algorithms, and a user-friendly visual interface, while answering two important questions in sample planning: "How many samples are needed?" and: "Where should the samples be taken?" Download the software and user’s guide.

RESRAD (http://web.ead.anl.gov/resrad)

RESRAD is a family of computer codes used to:

Calculate radiation doses and lifetime cancer risks to a chronically exposed individual or population group and
Derive cleanup criteria for radiologically contaminated soils and building material.

RESRAD codes are downloadable at no cost from the RESRAD web site.
