Calculated Gamma Output from a 6-kilogram Sphere of Neptunium
We previously modeled a 6 kg neptunium sphere with pyDMTK 2.0.0b, a python-based intrinsic radiation (INRAD) modeling tool, on the MOONLIGHT machine. Here we report results from version 2.0.1b on SNOW, another TriLab Linux Capacity Cluster (TLCC) resource on the Laboratory’s Turquoise network. We also present gamma output from MCNP 6.2.0 in terms of discrete line strengths, full gamma spectra, and dose rate maps for visualization. Results from both models agree with recent gamma measurements.
