NUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCY
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT
The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 34 democracies work together to address the economic, social
and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help
governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and
the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy
experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and
international policies.
The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Korea, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The European Commission takes part in the
work of the OECD.
OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the Organisation’s statistics gathering and research on
economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the conventions, guidelines and standards agreed by its members.
NUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCY
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) was established on 1 February 1958. Current NEA membership consists of
31 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the
Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the
United Kingdom and the United States. The European Commission also takes part in the work of the Agency.
The mission of the NEA is:
– to assist its member countries in maintaining and further developing, through international co-operation, the
scientific, technological and legal bases required for a safe, environmentally friendly and economical use of
nuclear energy for peaceful purposes;
– to provide authoritative assessments and to forge common understandings on key issues, as input to
government decisions on nuclear energy policy and to broader OECD policy analyses in areas such as energy
and sustainable development.
Specific areas of competence of the NEA include the safety and regulation of nuclear activities, radioactive waste
management, radiological protection, nuclear science, economic and technical analyses of the nuclear fuel cycle,
nuclear law and liability, and public information.
The NEA Data Bank provides nuclear data and computer program services for participating countries. In these
and related tasks, the NEA works in close collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, with
which it has a Co-operation Agreement, as well as with other international organisations in the nuclear field.

Foreword
The transport of radiation through shielding materials is a major consideration in the
safety design studies of nuclear power plants, and the modelling techniques used may be
applied to many other types of scientific and technological facilities. Accelerator and
irradiation facilities represent a key capability in R&D, medical and industrial
infrastructures and can be used in a wide range of scientific, medical and industrial
applications. High-energy ion accelerators, for example, are now used not only in
fundamental research, such as the search for new super-heavy nuclei, but also for
therapy as part of cancer treatment.
While the energy of the incident particles on the shielding of these facilities may be
much higher than that in nuclear power plants, much of the physics associated with the
behaviour of the secondary particles produced is similar, as are the computer modelling
techniques used to quantify key safety design parameters, such as radiation dose and
activation levels. Clear synergies exist, therefore, with other technical work being carried
out by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), and its Nuclear Science Committee
continues to sponsor activities in this domain.
One of these activities concerns “Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets and
Irradiation Facilities” (SATIF). A series of workshops have been held over the last 18 years:
SATIF-1 was held on 28-29 April 1994 in Arlington, Texas; SATIF-2 on 12-13 October 1995
at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland; SATIF-3 on 12-13 May 1997 at Tohoku University in
Sendai, Japan; SATIF-4 on 17-18 September 1998 in Knoxville, Tennessee; SATIF-5
on 17-21 July 2000 at the NEA in Paris, France; SATIF-6 on 10-12 April 2002 at the Stanford
Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Menlo Park, California; SATIF-7 on 17-18 May 2004 at
ITN, Sacavém, Portugal; SATIF-8 on 22-24 May 2006 at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory
in the Republic of Korea; SATIF-9 on 21-23 April 2008 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(ORNL), Oak Ridge, Tennessee; SATIF-10 on 2-4 June 2010 at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland;
SATIF-11 on 11-13 September 2012 at the High-energy Accelerator Research Organisation
(KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan.
The 12th workshop on Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation
Facilities took place in Batavia, US and was jointly organised by the Expert Group on
Radiation Transport and Shielding (EGRTS) of the Working Party on Scientific Issues of
Reactor Systems (WPRS) of the NEA and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL).
The workshop was sponsored by the NEA and its Nuclear Science Committee (NSC)
and co-sponsored by the Office of Science of the US Department of Energy and FNAL.
The current proceedings provide a summary of the discussions, decisions and
conclusions as well as the text of the presentations made at the twelfth workshop.

Dedicated to Dr. Dick Prael
Our friend and colleague Dick Prael passed away in 2014. He earned his PhD in 1971,
worked at ANL, and was then associated with the Los Alamos Monte-Carlo code-
development group from 1978. He created the LAHET code and made other critical
contributions to Monte-Carlo high-energy particle transport, specifically in MCNP. Dick
was a participant at and a contributor to many SATIF meetings including the first one in
Arlington. Dick’s scientific accomplishments, personality and sense of humour will be
sorely missed.

Dedicated to Dr. Klaus Tesch
Our friend and colleague passed away in 2013. Klaus joined DESY in 1963. He was the
leader of the Radiation Protection group there from 1971 until his retirement in 1996. He
was a major force in shaping the radiation protection for DORIS, PETRA and HERA. His
scientific contributions included experiments on the development and shielding of
electro-magnetic cascades, muon shielding, calculation and measurement of high-
energetic neutrons behind the shielding of proton accelerators, research and
development of passive and active neutron detectors, measurement of pulsed neutrons.
Klaus was a contributor to SATIF meetings including the first one in Arlington. The
community will miss him dearly.
