Download or read book Backscattering for Gamma Rays from a Point Source Near a Concrete Plane Surface written by Arthur B. Chilton and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Backscattering factors, as fractions of a direct dose rate in a vacuum, are obtained for point sources of gamma radiation, specifically cesium-137 and cobalt-60, placed near a plane interface between vacuum and concrete. The method derived is based on application of albedo principles, using the Chilton-Huddleston formulation for albedo. Previously published values of parameters for the Chilton-Huddleston formula are not used; but a new set, believed to be better, is derived. The results are considered practically applicable to air-concrete or air-ground interface situations, provided the distances of source to detector, source to interface, and detector to interface are greater than a mean-free-path of the source gamma radiation in the concrete or ground but substantially less than that in air.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additional measurements at this same location were made to determine: (1) the skyshine dose rate as a function of distance from a cobalt-60 source placed on an air-ground interface: (2) the geometry factor describing a detector response to scattered gamma rays at the air-ground interface from a point isotropic cobalt-60 source on the ground 100 ft away; and (3) lip scatter and wall backscatter corrections for a detector in an open hole exposed to skyshine radiation from cobalt-60. The results apply to a variation of shielding problems. One practical application is the shielding provided by basement roofs and exposed basement walls from skyshine radiation originating from fallout.
Download or read book Advances in Nuclear Science and Technology written by Ernest J. Henley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Nuclear Science and Technology, Volume 5 presents the underlying principles and theory, as well as the practical applications of the advances in the nuclear field. This book reviews the specialized applications to such fields as space propulsion. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the design and objective of the Fast Flux Test Facility to provide fast flux irradiation testing facilities. This text then examines the problem in the design of nuclear reactors, which is the analysis of the spatial and temporal behavior of the neutron and temperature distributions within the system. Other chapters consider the three major ways of estimating shield effectiveness. This book discusses as well the purpose of variational principle, which is a characterization of a function as the stationary point of an appropriate functional. The final chapter deals with the solution of the Boltzmann transport equation. This book is a valuable resource for engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The penetration into concrete of gamma radiation from fallout has been measured in an idealized geometry as a function of time after the detonation of a nuclear device. At the same time, the exposure dose rate in air at heights of 3 and 9 ft above the ground was measured with two detectors suspended from a tower and shielded from above with lead so as to be sensitive primarily to radiation from fallout on the ground. For this test a 'sandwich' made of seven concrete slabs, forming a mass of concrete with face dimensions large enough to reduce edge effects to a negligible amount, was buried with its top surface flush with the ground. Remote-reading detectors were placed between the concrete slabs, thus permitting measurements of dose rate as a function of depth in concrete. The concrete mass and the tower were located in the center of a cleared and leveled area approximately 200 yd in diameter. Thus the gamma radiation at the detectors originated from an essentially infinite-plane source of radiation. Results are presented both as a function of time after detonation and of depth of penetration of the radiation into concrete. A comparison of the results with theoretical calculations is made.
