Response to the NSNS Target Station External Report

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/814277· OSTI ID:814277
Radiation shielding analysis and design calculations were performed for remote maintenance cells of the proposed National Spallation Neutron Source (NSNS) facility. In the analysis, a calculational strategy utilizing coupled high energy Monte Carlo calculations and multidimensional discrete ordinates calculations was implemented to perform an activation analysis and shielding assessment of the NSNS remote handling cells. A general description of the remote maintenance cells, the methodology employed, and preliminary results of the shielding analysis and recommendations are presented.
