RELATIVE CONTRIBUTIONS OF SCATTERED AND SECONDARY RADIATION INSIDE A REALISTIC CREW SHIELD. Paper 19 of PAPERS FROM SEVENTH SEMIANNUAL SHIELDING INFORMATION MEETING, OCTOBER 14-15, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4095725

Analytical calculations were made of the dose rate inside a crew shield as a function of the emitted radiation energy and the angle of departure from the reactor shield. Scattering calculations were made by single scattering methods. Calculations were made for (n, alpha ) capture in air, inelastic scattering in air, thermal neutron capture in the crew shield, and thermalization of fast neutrons and capture of those neutrons in the crew shield. It is believed that this kind of study will prove highly useful in early planning stages of reactor shield design. (auth)
