1. A computer simulation of radiation dosages received by a product to be passed along a radiation source in a cell, the product is to be stationary at a set number of locations in the cell, the simulation comprising:
defining a point on the product;
identifying pre-calculated lengths between the point on the product and the radiation source at each of the set of locations in the cell; and
calculating a dosage of radiation to be received by the point on the product at each location, the calculating using the pre-calculated lengths.
