Abstract
A study of the use of interactive computer graphics as an aid to nuclear reactor shield design is in progress in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Imperial College, London. At present both one-dimensional and two-dimensional numerical techniques for calculating radiation transport have been used as the basis of the method. The work reported here has utilized the Imperial College Control Data Corporation 274 terminal linked to a CDC 6600 computer. Techniques which have been developed to create and change a displayed shield structure are discussed. A new two-dimensional contouring routine, which has been written for the presentation of calculated dose rates, is described, together with its use in stereoscopic presentation of contours.
