Description

This paper summarizes the results of a study that investigates shielding issues in a plutonium storage facility. Monte Carlo calculations are performed with MCNP to quantify neutron and gamma doses as a function of various parameters. This summary discusses some of the qualitative aspects of these calculations; however, details of the modeling and results are not presented because of the sensitive nature of some of the data
