The first three problems solved below were completed during an Intermediate Visual MCNP6 Workshop in one week.
The fourth problem was solved overnight at the 2014 ANS Knoxville Shielding Meeting using a laptop computer.
Case 1. Bulk neutron shielding through 200 cm of concrete from a Canadian Cyclotron
Case 2. Dose rate through a Heating and Air-conditioning air exhaust from the cyclotron facility.
Case 3. Dose rate through a Heating and Air-conditioning air intake into the cyclotron facility.
Case 4. Neutron Dose Rate outside a Synchrotron Heavy Ion Accelerator being designed for South Korea.
