Paper 1 Research Knowledge Base
Current status
OWNER INTENT: Develop RAMAL-EBX as a reusable GUI research application for rapid three-dimensional radiation-protection field prediction while retaining PHITS as the reference Monte Carlo method. The surrogate does not replace verified transport, professional safety assessment, commissioning measurement, or regulatory approval.
The editable decision page records approved D1, D2, D4, and D6; amendment-open D3 and D5; and unresolved D7–D11. D3/D5 now have an approved planar Ta–water–SS304 screening family, source/scan method, bounded sensitivity coordinates, and comparison procedure. Preliminary evidence must still establish numerical thresholds and support owner approval of the retained spot, span, margin, source definition, and final construction.
Current Project records, application-capability mismatches, and the next executable action are maintained only in Current Project Evidence.
