SHIELDING DESIGN METHODS FOR ARGONAUT-TYPE REACTORS

Journal Article · · Nuclear Sci. and Eng.
OSTI ID:4244234
An engineering approach to shielding calculations is evaluated for two reactorss the Argonaut-I, operating at ANL, and the Geneva Argonaut reactor. The methods of calculation selected are such that hand calculations could provide resonable results in an acceptable length of time, although the IBM-704 was used for part of the calculations presented. Fast and thermal neutron fluxes throughout the shields and gamma-ray dose rates at the outside of the shield are calculated for a power level of l0 Mw. (W.D.M.)
