Description

Guidelines for radiation shielding evaluation by Monte Carlo method was designed and developed for practical radiation shielding for radioactive material transport casks. The guidelines consist of current technical advancement on estimating the dose equivalent rates around the surface of a transport cask. The guidelines could be useful to validate the procedure and the results of radiation shielding analyses for transport casks. (author)
