Unlike “benchmarks,” which are compared with experimental data, “intercomparisons” aim to compare differences among computational codes using identical calculation conditions (such as source, material composition, and conversion factors for dose, etc.). Two types of intercomparison... -

The Shielding Integral Benchmark Archive Database (SINBAD) was established in the late 1990’s as a collaborative undertaking between the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC), with the aim to preserve the information on radiation shielding experiments, to answer codes and nuclear data validation...

Shielding Integral Benchmark Archive and Database (SINBAD) [1] includes over 100 shielding benchmarks covering fission, fusion and accelerator applications. The project started in the early 1990-ies at OECD/NEA Data Bank and RSICC with the objective to preserve the experimental data and the information on the measurement procedure. SINBAD provides an experimental database for the integral...

Upgrades to the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its experiments began on 29 June 2026 and are expected to last until 2030. During this time, the four large LHC experiments will be modified to withstand the higher collision rates and irradiation conditions of the new High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). Dismantling and decommissioning of activated detector components will be followed by the...

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are widely used for dosimetry in proton therapy, yet substantial differences in neutron dose estimates persist between simulation codes due to variations in nuclear interaction models and cross-section libraries. To quantify these differences, a collaborative study by EURADOS Working Groups 6, 9, and 11 compared neutron fluence and dose equivalent calculations...

A set of tools for fast and reliable activation calculations is being studied and developed at the European Spallation Source (ESS). These consist of classic radiation transport codes, and more novel and rapid solutions, involving machine learning techniques for activation estimations. This set of tools will provide support for operations and radioactive waste classification and...

Concrete activation has been investigated at several accelerator facilities, including Pohang Light Source (PLS) with 2.5 GeV electrons. To extend the experimental benchmark database to a higher-energy electron beam dump environment, concrete activation experiments were conducted at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL). A thick copper target (Ø 10.2 × 25.35...
