NUCLEAR WEAPONS RADIATION DOSES IN ARMORED VEHICLES
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4015788
An analytic study is presented for predicting the doses within the interior of armored vehicles due to the initial neutron and gamma radiation from any specific nuclear weapon. Basic data are generated by Monte Carlo techniques for the penetration of neutrons and gamma rays through iron slabs, neutron capture, neutron inelastic scattering, and neutron albedos. A computer program for calculating crew doses contains independent sections which can accommodate new vehicle geometry or weapons radiation environments. (auth)
