(etd2)MCNP Radiation Dosimety and Shielding
EMSL Project ID
2292
Abstract
Staff in the ETD Radiation and Health Technology (RH&T) perform numerous radiation shielding and dosimetry calculations using the MCNP Monte Carlo radiation transport code. The work is sponsored by government, military, and private organizations throughout the United States (U.S.) and to foreign organizations. Representative projects include shielding calculations in support of the Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility, characterization of radiation beams and facilities used in the DOELAP and NVLAP dosimeter accreditation programs, and basic health-effects research for the DOE-SC. The purpose of this project is to port the MCNP radiation transport code to Jupiter and Colony, to familiarize RH&T staff with the MSCF computing environment, and to benchmark the performance of the MCNP on these computers. The latest version of the MCNP includes support for multi-processor computers using the PVM library. The Los Alamos development team plans to include support for the MPI library in a future release.
