Nuclear Radiation Dose Comparisons of SMAUG to Air Transport Results Based on the DLC-31 Cross Sections.

Abstract

This report presents comparisons of results obtained from the SMAUG computer code to recently published infinite homogeneous air transport data generated by the ANISN one-dimensional discrete-ordinates compter code, using the DLC-31 cross sections. The comparisons are for 4 P: (R)(R) tissue dose from a fission and thermonuclear neutron source and a prompt gamma source over the range of 1 to 600 grams/sq. cm. From 10 to 300 grams/sq. cm the SMAUG neutron tissure dose from a fission source was higher and the resulting secondary gamma tissue dose was lower. For the thermonuclear source both the SMAUG neutron and secondary gamma tissue doses were higher. For the prompt gamma source SMAUG results are lower for ranges less than 100 grams/sq.cm, about equal between 100 and 150 grams/sq. cm, and higher for ranges greater than 150 grams/ sq. cm. (Author)
