In the design of nuclear power plants, it is demanded to quickly and calculate gamma ray scattering line (streaming) from the penetrating portion provided in the shielding such as electrical cables and ducts. However, when conducting gamma-ray streaming calculations from multiple penetrations, MCNP, a detailed calculation code, requires a long calculation time. This is due to the nature of MCNP, where many particles must reach the evaluation point when calculating in order for the results to be within an acceptable accuracy. To shorten the computation time, an analysis code utilizing a simple calculation method is necessary. Thus, we have developed a new method and a simple calculation tool (SVD-Dorc) for streaming computation. This method combines dose rate at an evaluation point with point kernel integration method and a simple streaming calculation formula for straight cylindrical ducts. Properties of SVD-Dorc are as follows: • Point kernel integration method • Simple streaming calculation formula for straight cylindrical ducts • Manual and automatic meshing of rectangular and cylindrical sources • Differentiation between direct line and non-direct sources • 3D drawing of input data • File output The validity of SVD-Dorc was confirmed by comparison with MCNP calculations and measured values from benchmark tests [2]. |
