3. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR FUNCTION

The SAMSY code calculates multigroup neutron fluxes and dose rate, multigroup gamma ray dose rates and internal heat sources, as a function of distance through large multilayer reactor shields. I D geometries: plane, spheri- cal, cylindrical.

[ top ]

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

The code is based on Spiney method for neutron field analysis and on build-up factor method for gamma fields, with two optional approaches to build-up factors evaluation; the first is based on single layer build-up factor conception as in the well-known MAC-RAD code, and the second on the modified Harima-Nishiwaki formula for build-up factors in multilayered media.
