CALCULATIONS WITH UNC-SAM-2 OF EXPOSURE RATES MEASURED IN AN OPEN BASEMENT

Abstract

A number of experimental studies are being conducted to validate theoretical methods of calculating fallout protection afforded by structures. As a part of this program, exposure rates in an open basement were measured at the US Army Nuclear Defense Laboratory (USANDL). This report presents calculated exposure rates for forty-eight detectors located within the open basement. These results were obtained using UNC-SAM-2, a Monte Carlo radiation transport digital computer code. The calculated results are compared with experimental measurements and also with comparable adjoint (Monte Carlo) results.
