Abstract:
The relative merits of two computer codes, PF-COMP and CAPS-2, for calculating radiation fallout protection factors for shelter areas were investigated by comparing the code results with those from hand calculations based on the Engineering Manual method. Five building types were considered. For protection factors in the range of 1 to 100, the PF-COMP code was found to yield values that were within plus or minus 15% of the hand-calculated values, while the CAPS-2 code gave results that were within -44 to +90% of the hand- calculated values. For protection factors greater than 100, the PF-COMP code results were within -41 to +36% and the CAPS-2 code results were within -10 to +58% of the hand-calculated values.
