Effects of inhomogeneity in plane shielding construction

A previously proposed method was applied to a heterogeneity shield calculation and showed some remarkable results. In the present work, more extensive study of the dose distributions near a shield heterogeneity were performed. As a result of this investigation, a calculation-experimental method was developed for dose field calculations with complex geometry and a typical scale much greater than a mean free path of gamma radiation. Experimental data can be readily used to verify other codes
