Approximate Procedures for Calculating Protection from Initial Nuclear Radiation from Weapons

摘要

In the report the authors discuss procedures for routine evaluation of the protection of complex structures against the initial radiations from nuclear detonations. They describe procedures for evaluating and combining dose reduction factors for four radiation components: early fission product gamma rays, air secondary gamma rays generated by neutron interactions in the air, neutrons, and wall capture gamma rays generated by neutrons through interactions with nuclei in structural materials. They describe computer codes developed to evaluate reduction factors for each of these components.
