Approval of Reactor Design Clears Path for New Plants
I almost missed this article, in the excitement of the holidays, last week. A piece of good news for the nuclear industry. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/23/business/energy-environment/nrc-clears-way-for-new-nuclear-plant-construction.html?_r=1 The AP1000 design was unanimously approved by the NRC.

Re: SCILAB 5.3 User Manual, Excellent
Scilab 5.4.0 Alpha-1 is already out, for anyone interested.
http://www.scilab.org/products/scilab/d ... .0-alpha-1
Of course, still alpha so not fit for production work, but it may be worth taking a look.

I have seen some posters have been interested in the subject, so here are a couple of fresh documents about Fukushima.
US claims mortality rates have increased because of Fukushima fallout and the decontamination plan for the reactors at the site,

Re: Formulas for Cylindrical Source
You are better off posting this request on one of the SCI.Nuclear or ALT.Nuclear public newsgroups. Better yet, pick up an intro book on shielding and the formulas should be there.

Re: Any shielding software?
I don't know that they have any such program or not, but why can't you get one from RSIC or some other government lab? I believe you can get them for free and they range in complexity and capabilities from the very simple to the real sophisticated. For example, since you are looking for gamma trans...
