RADIATION STREAMING IN SHELTER ENTRANCEWAYS. Final Report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4100583
The basic objective of the work reported is to study, describe, and measure the transport of nuclear radiation through air ducts having walls of different materials. Particular emphasis is placed on full-scale concrete ducts which are intended for use as underground shelter entranceways and which contain a right-angle bend. It is shown that a modified albedo theory will rather accurately describe the transmission of both gammas and neutrons in lead and concrete ducts. Theory is compared with experimental measurements of gamma dose and neutron-flux attenuation factors. Neutron number albedo measurements are made and reported. Work by various theorists and experimenters is included for completeness and comparison. (auth)
