Shield Pnetration Programs C-17 AND L-63

Abstract

Two programs are described which have been coded for the IBM-704 (and are compatible with the IBM-7090). The programs calculate the neutron and/or gamma spectra, heat generation rate, and/or dose rate at each of a group of point detectors, due to each of a group of point sources. The sources may be divided into sets, with each set having unique source spectra. In addition to the above calculation, the spectrum, heating rate, and/or dose rate for each detector, summed over each source-point set and over the entire source group may be computed. The two programs are similar, both computationally, and as regards input and output information, excepting for the complexity of the problem geometries acceptable to the programs.
