OSTI ID:219467
This paper describes the initial global 2-D shielding analyses for the 2-element, heavy-water cooled and reflected Advanced Neutron Source reactor which was to have been built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The portion of the system analyzed encompassed the highly enriched core, the 1.5-m-thick heavy-water reflector, the aluminum reflector vessel, and the first 0.2 m of light water beyond the reflector vessel. While some results are presented, this paper focuses primarily on the lessons learned during the analysis of this rather unique system.
