REACTOR SHIELDING INFORMATION MEETING SCHENECTADY, MAY 13 AND 14, 1954

Technical Report · Thu Oct 30 23:00:00 EST 1958

OSTI ID:4301701

Thirty-one papers covering practically all phases of reactor shielding and related studies are included. A chronology of reactor shielding and the present status of shielding theory and microscopic nnclear data as presented in Papers 1 and 2, respectively, kay the foundation for the more specific papers which follow. Specific related theoretical computations and experimental measurements discussed include: neutron and gamma attenuation in Hanford shielding materials; neutron and gamma transmission through air slots; penetration of 8-Mev gamma rays in H/sub 2/O, Fe, and Pb; moments method calculation of neutron penetration through light materials; stochastic calculations of gamma diffusion; use of Doral in shielding; dose measurements in air and H/sub 2/O; slowing down, attenuation, and slant penetration of neutrons in H/sub 2/O; gamma doses due to irregular geometry in sinb shields; flux characteristics of extendnd sources; secondary gamma production; broad- beam gamma attenuations; thermal neutron flux calculation for EBR; survey of the BNL shielding program; and Monte Carlo calculations of neutron penetration in H/sub 2/. A book-type subject index has been prepared to facilitate the locating of the information. (L.M. T.)
