The TMAP code has been upgraded to version 7, which includes radioactive decay along with many features implemented in prior versions. Pursuant to acceptance and release for distribution, the code was exercised in a variety of problem types to demonstrate that it provides results in agreement with theoretical results for cases where those are available. It has also been used to model certain experimental results. In this paper, the capabilities of the TMAP7 code are demonstrated by presenting some of the results from the verification and validation process.
