Book excerpt: A study was conducted to evaluate the radiation levels and the response of various diagnostic components in and around the building that houses the Godiva IV fast-burst reactor assembly. In a typical operation of 1 MW-s (3.6(almost equal to)10f'is(almost equal to)s ions) in a 50 ps fwhm burst the peak power approaches 100,000 MW. The unshielded dose at 3 m is about 500 Rem. The results will be used to evaluate the radiation levels and shielding requirements for a new facility, and to anticipate problems with new safety, security, and diagnostic instrumentation. The study was required because of the difficulty of making accurate calculations, the intensity of the radiation, the mixed neutron and gamnta-ray source terms, and the complex nature of the structure. In addition to detailed dosimetry, attention was paid to the evaluation of spurious electromagnetic and radiofrequency signals produced in detectors, cables, and conduits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational Methods in Reactor Shielding deals with the mathematical processes involved in how to effectively control the dangerous effect of nuclear radiation. Reactor shielding is considered an important aspect in the operation of reactor systems to ensure the safety of personnel and others that can be directly or indirectly affected. Composed of seven chapters, the book discusses ionizing radiation and how it aids in the control and containment of radioactive substances that are considered harmful to all living things. The text also outlines the necessary radiation quantities and units that are needed for a systemic control of shielding and presents an examination of the main sources of nuclear radiation. A discussion of the gamma photon cross sections and an introduction to BMIX, a computer program used in illustrating a technique in identifying the gamma ray build-up factor for a reactor shield, are added. The selection also discusses various mathematical representations and areas of shielding theory that are being used in radiation shielding. The book is of great value to those involved in the development and implementation of systems to minimize and control the dangerous and lethal effect of radiation.

Book excerpt: The Tower Shielding Facility (TSF) is the only reactor facility in the US that was designed and built for radiation-shielding studies in which both the reactor source and shield samples could be raised into the air to allow measurements to be made without interference from ground scattering or other spurious effects. The TSF proved its usefulness as many different programs were successfully completed. It became active in work for the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) Space Nuclear Auxiliary Power, Defense Nuclear Agency, Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor Program, the Gas-Cooled and High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor programs, and the Japanese-American Shielding Program of Experimental Research, just to mention a few of the more extensive ones. The history of the TSF as presented in this report describes the various experiments that were performed using the different reactors. The experiments are categorized as to the programs which they supported and placed in corresponding chapters. The experiments are described in modest detail, along with their purpose when appropriate. Discussion of the results is minimal, but references are given to more extensive topical reports.
