mcnp_plot_out_spec

Model results or input source histograms from MCNP and perhaps
other sources typically provide binned tally results with columns representing
maximum energy in MeV, a column with the mean tally result or bin probability
and an uncertainty column (not used). Once the data is scanned in, or otherwise
entered into the R global environment, they can be plotted with this function.

Provides functions for radiation safety, also known as
"radiation protection" and "radiological control". The science of
radiation protection is called "health physics" and its engineering
functions are called "radiological engineering". Functions in this
package cover many of the computations needed by radiation safety
professionals. Examples include: obtaining updated calibration and
source check values for radiation monitors to account for radioactive
decay in a reference source, simulating instrument readings to better
understand measurement uncertainty, correcting instrument readings
for geometry and ambient atmospheric conditions. Many of these
functions are described in Johnson and Kirby (2011, ISBN-13:
978-1609134198). Utilities are also included for developing inputs
and processing outputs with radiation transport codes, such as MCNP,
a general-purpose Monte Carlo N-Particle code that can be used for
neutron, photon, electron, or coupled neutron/photon/electron transport
(Werner et. al. (2018) <doi:10.2172/1419730>).
