GAMMA ATTENUATION OF LEAD IN TOP PLUG MOCK-UP NO. 1
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4350859
An attempt was made to measure the gamma attenuation of lead in the beryllium--iron--water configuration. This configuration is a mockup of a top plug design which replaced all B/sub 4/C in the bottom section of the plug with solid iron. The iron was followed by sufficient water to remove most of the low- energy neutrons, which would cause capture gammas in the subsequent lead gamma shielding. Neutron measurements indicated the amount of water used was sufficient. Unfortunately the observed gamma intensity was too low to allow reliable measurements of the attenuation of more than one slab; however, the data for two slabs are presented as obtained. (A.C.)
