3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

Fe-Shielder calculates shielding thickness of Iron for any photon emitting radionuclide in the energy range 0.5 to 10 MeV.

[ top ]

4. METHODS

Fe-Shielder assumes the radionuclide(s) as a point source and uses Taylor form of the buildup factor to calculate shielding thickness.

[ top ]

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

Fe-Shielder works in the photon energy range of 0.5 to 10 MeV.
Suitable for radionuclides/SRS of small dimensions.
