Re: Skyshine

Ken Shultis and Dick Faw of Kansas State University have several
publications on SKYSHINE in the last 6 years in Nuclear Science and
Engineering:
NSE 107, 228-245 (1991)
NSE 123, 282-288 (1996)
NSE 79, 404-416 (1981) - a Benchmark Co-60 experiment
NSE 80, 334-338 (1982)
Proceedings of the Radiation Protection and Shielding Division Topical
Meeting, Cape Code, April 1996 (American Nuclear Society )
Numerous references in these papers
Also they review the concept in their new textbook "Radiation Shielding",
Prentice Hall PTR, 1996.
They have also been involved in the development of several codes.
Ken Shultis' email is jks@ne.ksu.edu

A code known as SKYSHINE-III developed by Radiation Research Associates is
available from RSIC at ORNL (or whatever the current name is).  However,
there are a couple of corrections that have been reported and are being
corrected.  I have recently done a lot of work with that code for NAC
International on the modeling of skyshine from spent fuel dry storage
container arrays and would be willing to discuss the code (proprietary
changes excluded) or the concept in general if you contact me at my email
below.
