Abstract

It has become possible to apply a Monte Carlo code to a specified shielding calculation, including deep-penetration problems, within a reasonable CPU time along with a recent drastic increase in computational power. It is, however, not reasonable to apply a Monte Carlo code to all shielding calculations at each step.
