Popis:	The report represents a compilation of computer codes used to estimate potential human exposures and inhalation doses due to unit releases of /sup 222/Rn from uranium milling sites in western United States. The populations considered for potential exposure to risk from /sup 222/Rn and associated daughters are the inhabitants of North America between 20/sup 0/ and 60/sup 0/ North latitude. The primary function of these codes is to integrate spatially atmospheric radionuclide concentrations with current population data for the geographic area under consideration. It is expected that these codes will be of assistance to anyone interested in assessing nuclear or nonnuclear population exposures over large geographic areas.
