Introduction to MCNP

[hodgdon@homer.yankee.com (hodgdon@yankee.com)]

Are radsafers interested in learning about monte carlo simulation
of radiation doses on a PC or workstation?  The short course
"Introduction to MCNP" will be given in the Boston area Dec. 5 to
8.  The course is good for 16 ABHP CECs and 2.8 CECs from
Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

The teachers are the same ones who give the course every other
month in Los Alamos, New Mexico.  I took it in February.  

The HP who wants to invest some time can predict doses and
instrument responses from simple or complex neutron, photon, and
electron sources.  Graphical and statistical outputs simplify and
speed up model creation.  The code is distributed by the
Radiation Shielding Center at Oak Ridge.

It's not for everyone, but if its for you E-mail me for an
information sheet.  If there's tons of interest I'll put more on
radsafe.
