Use of Lagrange Multipliers to Provide an Approximate Method for the Optimisation of a Shield Radius and Contents
For any appreciable radiation source, such as a nuclear reactor core or radiation physics accelerator, there will be the safety requirement to shield operators from the effects of the radiation from the source. Both the size and weight of the shield need to be minimised to reduce costs (and to incre...
