Monte Carlo simulations in the optimisation of linac bunker shielding

Monte Carlo modelling is ideal for the determination of linear accelerator bunker shielding capabilities, especially when non-standard geometry and beam configurations are involved, making traditional manual calculations, as outlined in NCRP 151, less effective. This study developed a realistic mode...
