Sensitivity of INR Shielding Analyses to Source and Structural Variations

Abstract

Results of a study of three specific items of interest to the development of procedures for estimating initial radiation protection factors for buildings are presented. These include: (1) the effects of new cross section data for nitrogen and oxygen on initial radiation environments are presented; (2) calculations of delayed radiation environments for large yield weapons are presented -- the calculations are based on the NUIDEA code; and (3) sensitivity analyses of the effects of composition, thickness, and design characteristics of wall constructions are presented.
