Comparing Shielding Studio to Measurement

shielding studio validation radiation protection neutrons

Validation and traceability is vitally important when calculating radiation protection quantities. This article is an introduction into the sorts of validation work we do whist developing Shielding Studio. It is also a demonstration of how quickly Shielding Studio can produce useful results in 3D! Reference Data There are various sources for measured data for a variety of radiation qualities when we are talking about ambient dose equivalent. Here we use data in this Open Access publication, so that you can read it too! Read more...

The Future of Computer Simulation in Radiation Protection

Radiation protection will rely heavily upon computer simulation for the evaluation of new and complex exposure scenarios in the future. In particular, it will find increasing application in: the design and verification of new facilities and plant where shielding needs to be optimised; in the reconstruction of radiation incidents; and in radiation worker training. Computer simulation is used widely in fields outside of radiation protection, where radiation sources and humans are in close proximity, most notably medicine, and specifically radiotherapy in its various forms.
