A STUDY OF SPACE RADIATION SHIELDING PROBLEMS FOR MANNED VEHICLES
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4783999
The resolution of the problem of protecting space vehicle crews from charged particles of either solar-flare or trapped-radiation origin will probably depend on shielding. The basic problem is concerned with determining quantitatively the attenuation requirement of the incident radiation and selecting an appropriate material to provide this shielding. The hazards of space radiation, the methods of dose calculation, and the development of a proton penetration procedure are discussed. A summary of cross section data and the results of shielding calculations with particular emphasis on contributions to the dose from secondary radiation are also included. (auth)
