A rapid and direct method for half value layer calculations for nuclear safety studies using MCNPX Monte Carlo code

Half Value Layer calculations theoretically need prior specification of linear attenuation calculations, since the HVL value is derived by dividing ln(2) by the linear attenuation coefficient. The purpose of this study was to establish a direct computational model for determining HVL, a vital parame...
