Simulating the multi layered radiation shielding design

Hello everyone.

I am currently new to openmc. I am working on designing a compact radiation shield for a nuclear reactor. The shield is multilayered and will shield against neutrons and gamma. How can I simulate the process?

Thanks.

Hello @NeutronEngineer.

I think the following paper can help you:
