Recently developed line- and conical-beam response functions are used to calculate neutron skyshine doses for four idealized source geometries. These calculations, which can serve as benchmarks, are compared with MCNP calculations, and the excellent agreement indicates that the integral conical- and line-beam method is an effective alternative to more computationally expensive transport calculations.
