SANDYL Radiation Transport Code at the Naval Research Laboratory.

Abstract

SANDYL is a Monte Carlo photon and electron transport code used mainly to calculate dose in any material. This report is a history of the translation and modification of the local version, which is being run on the Texas Instrument Advanced Scientific Computer, and the report details how this version differs from the original versions. Together with original documentation, it will serve as a user's manual. Use of codes like SANDYL or of equivalent more expensive, experimental information is necessary in radiation vulnerability studies and hardness design work on Navy satellites. The special utility of SANDYL lies in its ability to handle rather general geometries while retaining a close connection with physical mechanism.
