Preliminary Validation of the Shift Monte Carlo Code for Fixed-Source Radiation Transport Problems

SCALE 6.2.4 Validation: Radiation Shielding

“…All simulations were run without the shadow shield. Similar validation studies have been performed by taking the difference of two simulations, one without the shadow cone and one with the shadow cone, has been done in the past [16][17][18][19]. Because the measurements were corrected for background and room return, just a single simulation was conducted for each source, and the walls of the room were excluded.…”

“…The photon skyshine experiment was performed at Kansas State University (KSU) in 1977 [36], and related work has been published by others [16,[37][38][39]. In the KSU experiment, exposure rates due to skyshine radiation produced by three different 60…”

Monte Carlo Simulation of Background and Source Measurements with CSG and CAD Geometries

“…Shift [14,15] is a high-performance massively parallel Monte Carlo radiation transport code. It is part of a larger radiation code suite which also includes the Denovo [16] deterministic solver.…”
