Abstract
A general Monte Carlo-discrete ordinates radiation transport coupling procedure has been created to study effects of the radiation environme nt in Hiroshima and Nagasaki due to the bombing of these two cities. T he forward two-dimensional, free-field, air-over-ground flux is couple d with an adjoint Monte Carlo calculation. The size, orientation, or t ranslation of the Monte Carlo geometry is unrestricted. The radiation effects calculated are the dose in the interior of a large concrete bu ilding in Nagasaki and the activation production of Co-60 and P-32 in Hiroshima.
