This book was released on 1972 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gamma-ray beams normally incident upon slab shields of varying compositions are studied using a computer program based upon the Monte Carlo technique. Initial gamma energies of 1, 4, 6, and 8 MeV are considered. The shielding materials used were aluminum, iron, and lead. Both single and double material shields were investigated, at a variety of thicknesses up to a maximum of five mean free paths. Two secondary gamma processes are included in this simulation: annihilation gammas from pair production and bremsstrahlung from the electrons. The primary effort is the calculation of the dose, energy, and number buildup factors for these shields. The results for a single material agree quite well with experimental values, and the double material results agree with previous calculations. Secondary results obtained include the pattern of energy deposition within the shield and the variation in beam energy and radial spectra as it passes through the shield. The most important conclusion resulting from this work is that secondary gammas must be considered to obtain valid results when studying heavy materials at incident gamma energies greater than 1 MeV"--Abstract, leaf ii.

Download or read book Engineering Compendium on Radiation Shielding written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need has arisen for a comprehensive handbook for engineers faced with problems of radiation shielding design. Although there are several excellent books on shielding, they either do not give enough consideration to the many practical design problems, or are limited to special aspects of the subject. Recognizing the universal need, the International Atomic Energy Agency decided to sponsor the publication ofthe present Engineering Compendium on Radiation Shield ing. At the first editorial discussions it was agreed that, if such a book were to be undertaken, it would be appropriate not only to create a useful design tool for the practising engineer but also to include well-referenced basic data for the research worker. Although trying to keep the book down to a reasonable size, the editors have aimed at a complete presentation of the subject, covering and linking both the tech nology and the science of shielding. Efforts to make terms and definitions consistent throughout have been only partially successful, owing to the continuing development of new ideas. However, inconsisten cies that could not be eliminated are identified whenever possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the third volume of a three-volume report, is described a Monte Carlo multilayer slab geometry shielding program that was developed for use in evaluating the radiation shields of an armored combat vehicle crew pod. Extensive use was made in the program of variance reduction techniques such as statistical estimation, forced collisions, the exponential transformation, particle weights, Russian Roulette, systematic sampling, and importance sampling. The routines used in tracing the life histories of both the neutrons and gamma rays incident on a multilayer slab geometry shield, and the neutrons and gamma rays that result from secondary-particle interactions within the multilayer shield, are described. Instructions for preparation of the program input data and a description of the output data obtained from running the procedure are presented.
