QADS: A multidimensional point kernel analysis module
QADS is a multidimensional point kernel computer code that utilizes the simplified free-form input of the SCALE system as well as compatibility with ORIGEN-S produced sources, SCALE cross section libraries, and standard composition data sets. QADS consists of a preprocessor that takes the free-form input and prepares input for the widely available QAD-CGGP code, which is then automatically executed by a driver module. This report describes the point kernel theory briefly, followed by numerous tips on successfully applying the theory to various types of shielding problems. The remainder of the document is devoted to input and output descriptions of the QADS code with several illustrative sample problems. 4 refs., 5 figs., 7 tabs.
