MAGI-SGD, A Monte Carlo Program to Calculate Neutron Flux and Secondary Gamma-Ray Dose from a Nuclear Weapon Detonation. Volume I. Theory and Test Results.

Abstract

MAGI-SGD is a coding system designed to calculate the time and space distribution of a neutron flux spectrum and of secondary gamma ray dose in the atmosphere caused by neutrons leaking from a nuclear thermonuclear device exploded in the atmosphere at ground level or higher. The report describes the physical and analytical basis of the system. (Author)
