CALCULATING GAMMA SPECTRA FROM REACTORS

A method was developed for calculating the gamma spectrum and dose rate from an operating reactor. This method provides reliable results for shielding and heating calculations. Direct use is made of "differential energy spectra" for point, isotropic, and monoenergetic gamma sources in infinite media. The practicality of the application is that differential energy spectra are available for a wide range of materials or may be interpolated on the basis of atomic number or "effective atomic number" for any material.
