OSTI ID:4176848
A method for achieving optimization of the Maritime OMR shield based on fast neutron removal theory is presented. A comparison of fluxes obtained using this method with the results of experimental measurements performed in the BSR and STR shields indicates that the method can achieve sufficient accuracy in the hydrogenous portions of a shield, but fails in the non-hydrogenous regions. Although it is recommended that other methods should be investigated in future neutron penetration methods studies, it is concluded that the methods developed can achieve reasonably accurate preliminary shield optimization with a minimum of effort, a virtue which adds further impetus to their utilization.
