Limiting Surface Density Method Application to Large Arrays of Highly Heterogeneous Shipping Packages

摘要

This work represents the initial phase of an overall effort to reduce the analytical burdens and increase flexibility of the K-Area Complex which provides stewardship of special nuclear materials. A hand calculation method is being extended to apply to large arrays of highly heterogeneous shipping packages. This method has the potential to quickly determine the impact of perturbations on the array.
