SHIELDING CALCULATIONS POT CALCINATION DEMONSTRATION AT HANFORD

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4685922
The results of shielding calculations are presented for the Pot Calcination Demonstration at Hanford. Stored pots containing Consolidated Edison waste cooled l80 days produced the highest dose rate of 18 mrem/hr through a 64- in. concrete shield. Purex waste (180-day cooled) in 8-in.diameter pots gave 4.2 mrem/hr through the same shield. Purex waste source activities and fission product heating data are also presented. (auth)
