INITIAL Reactor Laboratory Irradiation Safety Calculations
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The INITIAL reactor experiment being pitched to UC Davis and agreed upon by the professor teaching the course is a natural uranium neutron activation experiment in the McClellan Nuclear Research Center (MNCR) reactor. Due to the complex nature of the build up and decay of fission products in nuclear fuel, and the subsequent variety of radiation emitting nuclides, the following dose calculations are provided to ensure the safety of the experiment. These calculations are performed for both non-cadmium covered (Ex:1 - bare) and cadmium covered (Ex:2 - Cd) neutron irradiated UO2 samples.
