NEUTRON DOSE DISTRIBUTION BEYOND VARIOUS STRUCTURAL MEMBER MOCKUPS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4350858
A series of experiments to determine the magnitude of neutron leakage from the steel structures which penetrate the top plug shield was done in the Lid Tank on the final part of the shield testing program. A series of mockups was constructed and installed in the Lid Tank. The mockups were built to simulate those features which were believed to represent the worst cases of streaming in the top plug design. The neutron traverses indicate roughly the size of a patch which would be required to adequately shield such weak spots in the shield. (A.C.)
