SHLDUTIL:   A This is PC program that provides much basic shielding information. Specifically, this program provides (1) photon mass interaction coefficients (mu/rho), (2) various photon and neutron response functions (fluence-to-dose conversions factors), (3) photon buildup factors in single or laminate shields, (4) parameters for Taylor's and Berger's buildup factor approximations, (5) photon albedos, (6) neutron albedos (including secondary-gamma ray albedos, (7) photon and neutron transmission factors for slant incidence on concrete shields, (8) ranges of electrons and protons in various materials, (9) capture gamma-ray spectra and doses from 35 materials, and (10) evaluation of several functions inportant in shielding analyses.     More Details

PC-PLOT:   A general purpose scientific plotting program. Although somewhat outdated (it uses function keys and requires DOS or a DOS window), it produces publication quality plots on most printers with a minimum of effort. PC-PLOT was written Ken Shultis, an engineer who generates lots of graphs and who wants to produce them quickly. PC-PLOT can read data from files in a wide variety of formats (good for plotting data generated from other programs), fit curves to data, modify and edit previous plots, easily add and delete data from a graph, produce encapsulated PostScript files (useful for us LaTeX users), create arrows and labels, and a whole lot more. It cann't produce 3D pie and bar charts -- but real scientists and engineers don't use such wimpy graphics. Also distributed by the Engineering Experiment Station, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 1988-96. Current version: 6.01 (8/97).     More Details

SKYDOSE:   A code to evaluate the gamma-ray skyshine dose for source energies between 0.02 and 100 MeV for distances out to 2500 m from the source. Written for Sandia National Laboratory; also distributed by Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as part of CCC-646/SKYSHINE-KSUCCC, 1996. Revised 6/99 to version 2.3.     More Details

SKYCONES:   A code to evaluate the gamma-ray and neutron skyshine doses (including secondary-photon doses) for polyenergetic sources than emit radiation into an annular cone between two arbitrary polar angles. Results from a contiguous et of annular cone can be summed to produce skyshine analyses for skyshine sources whose intensity and spectrum vary with polar angle. Released 6/99 as version 1.1.     More Details
