3. NATURE OF PHYSICAL PROBLEM SOLVED - The OGRE programme system was designed to calculate, by Monte Carlo methods, any quantity related to gamma-ray transport. The system is represented by two examples - OGRE-P1 and OGRE-G. The OGRE-P1 programme is a simple prototype which calculates dose rate on one side of a slab due to a plane source on the other side. The OGRE-G programme, a prototype of a programme utilizing a general-geometry routine, calculates dose rate at arbitrary points. A very general source description in OGRE-G may be employed by reading a tape prepared by the user.


4. METHOD OF SOLUTION - Case histories of gamma rays in the prescribed geometry are generated and analyzed to produce averages of any desired quantity which, in the case of the prototypes, are gamma-ray dose rates. The system is designed to achieve generality by ease of modification. No importance sampling is built into the prototypes, a very general geometry subroutine permits the treatment of complicated geometries. This is essentially the same routine used in the O5R neutron transport system. Boundaries may be either planes or quadratic surfaces, arbitrarily oriented and intersecting in arbitrary fashion.
Cross section data is prepared by the auxiliary master cross section programme XSECT which may be used to originate, update, or edit the master cross section tape. The master cross section tape is utilized in the OGRE programmes to produce detailed tables of macroscopic cross sections which are used during the Monte Carlo calculations.


5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM - Maximum cross-section array information may be estimated by a given formula for a specific problem.
The number of regions must be less than or equal to 50.


6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME - Running time varies with the type of problem. Estimated running time for the sample problems -
XSECT, 2 minutes, 10 seconds. P1, 2 minutes, 20 seconds.
OGRE-G 2 minutes on the IBM 7090.
