COMPACT, INEXPENSIVE, EPITHERMAL NEUTRON SOURCE FOR BNCT

Not Available Although used successfully in the past, current vulnerability prediction models are no longer adequate for providing accurate estimates, visualizing events, or providing the flexibility to support the wide variety of analyses being performed today. A new, more powerful analytical tool is needed that is flexible, and be tailored to serve the user's needs. ARA proposes using a building block approach to create an analysis network that will allow the vulnerability analyst to easily analyze a target's vulnerability, substituting new or different algorithms or data when appropriate, and be flexible enough to be extendable to allow the evaluation of additional factors. Pre-built physics based libraries and methodologies can be dragged and dropped conveniently, connecting them and permitting their interactive operation. Innovative vulnerability/lethality analysis techniques and algorithms will be developed encompassing the many relationships that comprise the vulnerability analysis tool.
