No doubt you are already aware of this Doug, but I wanted to suggest that 

LANL has been doing some work in this area. In particular, I'd like to 

point out the work of my colleague Dr. R.T. Perry, who recently presented 

the following paper:



"Alpha,n Reactions and Energy Deposition From Thin Layers of Actinide 

Containing Material," American Nuclear Society, 12th Biennial RPSD Topical 

Meeting (2002).



As this work discusses calculations similar to those you're asking about, 

I'd be happy to provide more information (e.g. related LANL work) upon request.



Best regards,

Erik
