An integral shielding experiment has been designed to investigate neutron penetration through benchmark and representative mockups of the radial shield designs for advanced sodium-cooled reactor concepts. The experiment will be performed in FY 1986 at the ORNL Tower Shielding Facility to study neutron penetration through various combinations of graphite, boron carbide, and steel configurations using representative near-core and sodium-pool source spectra. Detailed configuration descriptions and measurement specifications for the experiment are included.
