Radiation Zone Classification and Shielding Design Engine
Abstract
This project bridges the gap between dosimetric survey data and civil infrastructure management. In high-energy physics environments (accelerator tunnels) and environmental remediation sites, translating detector readings into structural shielding requirements is often a manual, iterative process. This framework automates the workflow by: Context-Aware Interpolation: Utilizing Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) and Clough-Tocher scheme for point-source hotspots (mimicking 1/r2 physics) and Linear Barycentric Triangulation for long-geometry accelerator tunnels. Regulatory Compliance: Auto-classifying zones based on CERN Safety Code F and IAEA Basic Safety Standards. Shielding Remediation: Calculating the required physical barrier thickness (x) for concrete, steel, lead, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and materials like Bentonite Slurry or Compacted Earth/Soil (ρ = 1.80) using a deterministic Linear Attenuation Model.
