NEUTRON AND GAMMA FLUX MAPPING AT THE RADIATION EFFECTS FACILITY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4240706
The 2200 m/sec neutron flux per watt of reactor power (neutrons/cm/sup 2/ sec watt), the fast neutron dose rate per watt (rads/hr watt in ethylene), and the gamma ray dose rate per watt (ergs/gm sec watt in carbon) were measured in the irradiation volumes around the Radiation Effects Reactor for several shield tank configurations. Curves are given from which these quantities can be obtained as a function of distance from the reactor. A complete description is given of the instrumentation and techniques used in making these measurements as well as the theory behind the techniques. (auth)
