Abstract Background The Xoft electronic brachytherapy source is commonly used to treat superficial lesions and tumors located at shallow depths. However, uncertainties in material composition and geometry, mainly arising due to the manual assembly of the x‐ray tube components, contribute to inter‐source variability in the tube output spectrum.

BURNCAL: A Nuclear Reactor Burnup Code Using MCNP Tallies [PDF]
BURNCAL is a Fortran computer code designed to aid in analysis, prediction, and optimization of fuel burnup performance in a nuclear reactor. The code uses output parameters generated by the Monte Carlo neutronics code MCNP to determine the isotopic inventory as a function of time and power density.

Characterization of the light and flexible nonlead aprons as an alternative to Pb–PVC
Abstract Background Radiation shielding is crucial for protecting healthcare professionals from scatter radiation during x‐ray procedures. Conventional lead aprons, although effective, are limited by their high weight, low flexibility, and potential toxicity.

Monte Carlo with fuel burnup method for the ENHS benchmark calculations [PDF]
Estimates of the uncertainties arising from approximations in the methods used in different nuclear data processing and neutron transport codes are usually obtained by inter-comparing calculations made using different code systems.
