QAD-FN: A general-purpose shielding design code with simplified input

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6964929

This is a users manual for the point kernal gamma shielding code QAD-FN and provides the user with the code description, input parameters, a sample problem, sample problem output, error messages, and a microfiche copy of the code listing. QAD-FN was modified to simplify the input data by adding the FASTER geometry package and internal data libraries for the polynomial buildup coefficients and mass attenuation coefficients for gamma energies between 0.05 and 10.0 MeV. The gamma flux-to-dose conversion factors are calculated internally by QAD-FN using the ANSI/ANS 6.6-1 - 1977 equations. The neutron calculation portion of QAD-FN does work, but its use is not recommended. 9 refs., 10 figs.
