Abstract :
The NOVICE code is used by a number of government and aerospace organizations for radiation analysis of space systems. Generality of three dimensional modeling, with graphics output, is a major code capability. Major analysis methods are ray-trace/sectoring for rapid engineering design and Monte Carlo for design verification. Applications include dose/upset levels in space systems exposed to the trapped radiation belts, solar flares, galactic cosmic rays, and onboard nuclear power systems
