The Shielding_calculator Component

Calculating lateral shielding thickness required to attenuate dose rate from gammas arising from coating capture to a level specified by MaxRate.

Identification

• Author: Rodion Kolevatov
• Origin: IFE
• Date: August 2018

Description

Start of the trace-region in which SCATTER events should be logged.
Whenever a SCATTER occurs in components between this one and its counterpart Scatter_logger_stop the neutron state is logged.
The log is kept in memory - but only for one single
numerical neutron at a time, so there should be no real danger of memory overrun.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
