A Powerful Software Tool for Radiation Damage Predictions

Estimation of radiation damage to a subject is complex. Mapping and analysis of radiation, as well as response functions of subjects, are needed to predict radiation damage. Monte Carlo Code has been used to calculate the gamma and neutron radiation in the front-end building of the European Spallation Source. The radiation has been characterized in terms of quantities and energy spectra. Software Tool for Radiation Absorption Maps (STRAM) is a software tool developed for revealing the radiation absorbed by any subject. The tool folds radiation maps with response functions of the subject, thus determining the absorbed dose. STRAM demonstrates applicability in all radiatory environments, e.g. particle accelerators, nuclear power plants, radiotherapy at hospitals and cosmic rays in space.
