Abstract

The DOT III program uses the method of discrete ordinates to solve radiation transport problems in two spatial dimensions. While suitable for neutral particle transport analysis in fission reactor, CTR, and weapons studies, DOT has been especially developed for large shielding problems involving the transport of neutrons and/or photons. The document gives a full description of input and output data, as well as code implementation information and a description of a few demonstration problems. (auth)
