Dose rate visualization of radioisotope thermoelectric generators
- Westinghouse Hanford Company, P.O. Box 1970, Richland, Washington 99352 (United States)
Advanced visualization techniques can be used to investigate gamma ray and neutron dose rates around complex dose rate intensive operations. A method has been developed where thousands of dose points are calculated using the MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle) computer code (Briesmeister 1993) and then displayed to create color contour plots of the dose rate for complex geometries. Once these contour plots are created, they are sequenced together creating an animation to dynamically show how the dose rate changes with changes in the geometry or source over time. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
