Re: Assigning a different material for the radioactive decay product transport

Dear Mina,
  if you assign the transport material to VACUUM/BLKHOLE Fluka
deactivates radioactive decay product transport originated in the region
itself (but still transports the other ones originated elsewhere)

This is used (for example) in the cases where you want to study the
separate effects of the emission of single activated material/region
among many.
some short examples:
- you want to calculate the contribution of a single activated object
(among many) to the dose which some device (i.e. some electronics) is
exposed to.
- you want the contribution to the spectrum of the decay product
originated only from certain material.
etc...
