# Nuclear Weapon Radiation Effects Modeling **Entity class:** Nuclear-effects prediction domain ## Definition **Nuclear-weapon radiation-effects modeling** predicts radiation generation, propagation, interaction, exposure, and consequences associated with nuclear-weapon environments. The Oden/DTRA project focused publicly on fast reduced-order prediction of radiation intensity and spread. ## Relationships - **sponsor:** [[wiki/Defense Threat Reduction Agency|DTRA]]. - **researchers:** [[wiki/Tan Bui-Thanh|Tan Bui-Thanh]], [[wiki/PHO-ICES|PHO-ICES]], and Texas A&M collaborators. - **physics:** [[wiki/Neutron Transport Equation|Neutron Transport Equation]] and [[wiki/Radiation Transport Field|Radiation Transport Field]]. - **downstream:** [[wiki/Receptor Layer|Receptor Layer]] and [[wiki/Person-Scale Exposure Estimation|Person-Scale Exposure Estimation]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [Oden Institute — DTRA radiation-effects project, December 5, 2017](https://oden.utexas.edu/news-and-events/news/minimizing-uncertainty-in-uncertain-world-of-defense-energy/) - [Oden Institute — PHO-ICES project list](https://oden.utexas.edu/research/centers-and-groups/probabilistic-high-order-inference-computation-estimation-and-simulation/)
