14C is produced from the activation of N and O with high-energy neutrons. Due to its long half-life, high residence time in the environment and ease of assimilation into living matter, it is a major concern for the transportation of activated material and disposal of radioactive waste materials. This paper reports the discrepancy in the 14C product…
A new method for the calculation of Shutdown Dose Rates (SDDR) has been developed, the Novel-1-Step (N1S) method. The new
method retains the benefits of only requiring a single radiation transport calculation, as in the use of the direct-1-step (D1S) method,
while removing the need for pre-calculations to determine dominant nuclides and time corr…
