An analysis of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Tower Shielding Facility gas-cooled fast breeder reactor (GCFR) grid-plate shield design confirmation experiment was performed and inferences were made concerning the effectiveness of the grid-plate shield design. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the experiment and presents some implications for the GCFR demonstration plant and future designs. 15 refs.
