Application studies were made with Specialized Reactor-Shield Monte Carlo Program 18-0 to determine the efficiency and feasibility of calculating energy deposition due to primary core gamma rays throughout the XNJ140E-1 reactor-shield assembly. Monte Carlo results are presented in tabular form for all geometrical regions used to describe the shield. Described here is a means of obtaining adequate and valid heating rates in about 47 hours on the IBM-704 digital computer. Comparison of Monte Carlo and point kernel data are included.
