Monte Carlo Methods for Shield Design Calculations

Download or read book Monte Carlo Methods for Shield Design Calculations written by and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A suite of Monte Carlo codes is being developed for use on a routine basis in commercial shield design. The methods adopted for this purpose include the modular construction of codes, simplified geometries, automatic variance reduction techniques, continuous energy treatment of cross section data, and albedo methods for streaming. Descriptions are given of the implementation of these methods and of their use in practical calculations.
