During operation of a nuclear power plant the neutron radiation of the reactor core may induce activity in surrounding components and equipment. These may in turn become radiation hazards during decommissioning or component exchanges. To better plan for this, models of the degree of activation and subsequently, the dose are therefore of great importance. Building upon a previous study of the neutr
