Title: ACDOS2: a code for neutron-induced activities and dose rates

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5758410

In order to anticipate problems from the radioactivation of neutral beam sources as a result of testing, a code has been developed which calculates both the radioactivities produced and the dose rates resulting therefrom. The code ACDOS2 requires neutron source strength and spectral distribution as input, or alternately, the source strength can be calculated internally from an input of neutral beam source parameters. A variety of simple geometries can be specified, and up to 12 times of interest following the shutdown of the neutron source. Radiation attenuating and daughter radioactivities are treated accurately. ACDOS2 is also of use for neutron-induced radioactivation problems involving accelerators, fusion reactors, or fission reactors.
