American National Standard ANSI/ANS-8.3-1986 states that criticality alarm systems shall be designed to detect immediately the minimum accident of concern. The minimum accident of concern is defined to be one which will result in a dose of 20 rad in the first minute at a distance of 2 m from the reacting material, assuming only nominal shielding. To ensure that the criticality alarm system at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant satisfies this requirement, a study has been undertaken to determine the dose at the Y-12 detectors from the minimum accident of concern using the Y12MORSE code package. This paper describes the first phase of the project, that of validating Y12MORSE.
