RADIATION SHIELDING FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS
The shielding space of a nuclear reactor comprises a double-walled casing enclosing the reactor core. The interspace bounded by the two walls of the casing is filled on the one hand with hydrogenated liquid substances and on the other hand, with solid substances that highly absorb nuclear radiation. These solid substances may be constituted by a plurality of absorbing elements, for instance in the form of cylinders or any other appropriate form and may fill the said interspace in a statistical distribution. The said double-walled casing may be fitted with entrance and exit means allowing a circulation of the hydrogenated liquid through the said interspace. The heat created in the liquid is transferred by a heat exchanger. (NPO)
