Overview of SCALE system shielding capabilities
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
The Nuclear Engineering Applications Section and its sister department, Engineering Applications, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have had a long-term relationship with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to provide support in the development and use of the SCALE system analytical tools and cross-section libraries for the criticality, shielding, and thermal review of spent fuel packaging designs and storage pools. Over the years, the use of the SCALE system has grown far beyond the confines of the NRC. The system is used widely in the United States and abroad by government contractors, private industry, and universities to perform (1) problem-dependent multigroup cross-section processing, (2) criticality safety analyses, (3) shielding analyses, (4) heat transfer analyses, and (5) spent fuel and high-level waste characterization.
