CREW SHIELD SHAPING. Paper 12 of PAPERS FROM SEVENTH SEMIANNUAL SHIELDING INFORMATION MEETING, OCTOBER 14-15, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4096473

A method for shaping the shielding on the sides of a cylindrical crew compartment is being developed. The shield is designed to achieve minimum weight subject to the requirement of a specified weighted average dose rate along the compartment center line. A machine program was written for a single component of radiation in which attenuation through a single shield material and angular distribution inside are incorporated in the form of general subroutines.
