SHIELDING OF THE HFIR PRIMARY COOLANT DEAERATOR AND CONDENSERS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4014979
The shielding recommended for the HFIR primary coolant deaerator, steam jets, and condensers is 6 in. of lead plus 2 ft of ordinary concrete. This shielding is required because the reactor is being designed for a possible meltdown of the fuel element within the pressure vessel. The fission product gases released during such a meltdown tend to concentrate in the deaerator and the condensers. Shielding recommended for the meltdown situation is more than adequate for protection during the normal operating conditions of the reactor. (auth)
