A radiological characterization extension for the DORIAN code - Summer Student Report

During my stay at CERN as a summer student I was working in the Radiation Protection group. The primary task of my project was to expand the functionality of the DORIAN code that is used for the prediction and analysis of residual dose rates due to accelerator radiation induced activation. With the guidance of my supervisor I extended the framework of the DORIAN code to include a radiological classification scheme that is able to compute mass specific activities for a given irradiation profile and cool-down time and compare these specific activities to given waste characterization limit sets . Additionally, the DORIAN code extension can compute the cool-down time required to stay within a certain limit set threshold for a fixed irradiation profile
