[ RadSafe ] Reference for the word 'shake' ...and other sneaky Manhattan project words

[Joseph Preisig]

Radsafe,

     The users manual for MCNP (Monte Carlo Neutral Particle Program) has
some history about Monte Carlo

PS  EGS is Electron Gamma Shower....electron/gamma cascade.......MCNP is
for neutron/hadron cascades....
