Natural gamma radiation from long-lived actinide isotopes
Description
The purpose of this report is to describe a method, developed at Sandia National Laboratories, for calculating volumetric, unshielded, gamma radiation source spectra with arbitrary energy group structures from essentially arbitrary mixtures of actinide isotopes. The computer code and data base are combined as INRAD. These spectra can be used to describe the source for gamma radiation transport codes. Coupled with this source routine is a special version of the one-dimensional, discrete ordinates, radiation transport code XSDRN that uses the spectrum generating routine to define sources in an appropriate energy group structure. 15 refs., 34 figs., 10 tabs
