Progress and prospects of calculation methods for radiation shielding

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Progress in calculation methods for radiation shielding are reviewed based on the activities of research committees related to radiation shielding fields established in the Atomic Energy Society of Japan. A technological roadmap for the field of radiation shielding; progress and prospects for specific shielding calculation methods such as the Monte Carlo, discrete ordinate Sn transport, and simplified methods; and shielding experiments used to validate calculation methods are presented in this paper.
