3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

MANYCASK calculates radiation dose rate distribution around casks by superposing contribution of dose rates from many casks. Dose rate distribution around each cask is given as an analytical function of cask-geometry parameters, detector position relative to the cask and radiation dose rate on the cask surface. The radiation dose rate on each cask surface can be supplied from another code SMART. One can also adopt measured dose rate on the cask surface.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Dose rate around casks is calculated by superposing contribution of dose rates from many casks.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

1.94 sec. for sample analysis of measured dose rates in a ship loaded three casks.

NEA-1047/01

NEA-DB executed the test case included in the package on a CRAY-XMS computer in 2 seconds of CPU time.

8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

SMART supplies radiation dose rate on each cask surface if source data for radiations from spent fuels are available as well as data for the cask type.
