Radiation Protection in the Experimental Pile "Marius"; LA PROTECTION CONTRE LES RADIATIONS A L'EMPILEMENT EXPERIMENTAL "MARIUS" (in French)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4717178
Measurements made around the experimental pile 'Marius' made it possible to determine the valid characteristics of the slabs designed to improve the biological protection by covering the charge and discharge pits. These measurements also made it possible to evaluate the risks occurring when the pile is operating at various Powers and to make a reasonable estimate of the value of the ratio of the total danger due to neutrons (thermal and fast) and gamma radiation and to the danger due only to the gamma radiation. A knowledge of this ratio makes it possible to make satisfactory evaluations with a single apparatus which is really portable. (author)
