Guidelines on the nuclear analysis and design of concrete radiation shielding for nuclear power plants

Book ·
OSTI ID:6926022

Methods and data needed to calculate the concrete thickness required for radiation shielding in nuclear power plants are presented. Wherever possible, specific recommendations are made regarding radiation attenuation calculations, shielding design and standards of documentation. The nature of concrete is discussed and applications of analytical methods are given, including bulk transport, radiation heating, streaming and reflection problems. This standard may be considered as a supplement to ANSI N101.6 - 1972.
