Neutron and Gamma Radiation Monitoring at The Ion Beam Laboratory Building 720 Sandia/NM
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Neutron and gamma radiation spectra and dose rates were measured in and around the Ion Beam Laboratory, Building 720, at Sandia/NM. Measurements were made to support the testing of an enhanced target yielding 14 MeV neutrons from the deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reaction. The target room has thick concrete walls but an unshielded ceiling. Neutron and gamma radiation in and around the facility appear to be the result of skyshine. Estimates of neutron/gamma dose rates (per 10 9 source neutrons/s) at six (6) monitoring locations were made. Results indicated the need for enhanced radiological controls due to increased neutron production rates.
