Radioprotection problems resulting from the presence of experimental devices around an atomic reactor; Problemes de radioprotection poses par l'implantation de dispositifs experimentaux aupres d'une pile atomique

Abstract

The setting up of experimental devices around a reactor produces dangers of irradiation and radioactive contamination which can become very great in the case of an accident, especially if the in-pile portion contains fissile matter. This may result in irradiation of personnel, prohibition of access to the experimental zones until the sources of irradiation and contamination have been eliminated, and a prolonged stoppage of the reactor. The plans for an in-pile experiment should take into account radioprotection factors; the aim of these is to reduce to a minimum the radioactive risks normally encountered during the experiment and to eliminate any risks of bad accidents and their consequences. In this report are classified the various types of experiments requiring installations outside the pile itself; for each of these experiments the particular radioprotection factors are given. In order to make possible a study of the radioactive dangers likely to arise during a projected experiment, the authors summarize the physical and technical data required by radioprotection specialists and give the rules and general advice concerning radioprotection which should be useful during the planning of an in-pile experiment and the setting-up of the equipment.

(authors) [French] L'implantation de dispositifs experimentaux aupres des reacteurs cree des risques d'irradiation et de contamination radioactive qui peuvent devenir importants en cas d'accident, surtout si la partie en pile comprend des matieres fissiles. Il peut en resulter des irradiations de personne, l'interdiction des aires experimentales jusqu'a elimination des sources d'irradiation et de contamination, un arret prolonge de la pile. L'etude d'un projet d'experience en pile doit donc tenir compte des considerations de radioprotection dont le souci est de reduire aux niveaux tolerables les risques radioactifs inherents au fonctionnement normal de l'experience et d'eliminer les risques d'accidents graves et leurs consequences. Ce rapport classe les differents types d'experience necessitant des installations exterieures au bloc pile et souligne pour chacune de ces experiences les particularites remarquables sur le plan de la radioprotection. Pour permettre l'etude des risques radioactifs de l'experience projetee, les auteurs resument les donnees physiques et techniques necessaires aux specialistes de la radioprotection et presentent les regles et recommandations generales de radioprotection a considerer lors de l'etude du projet d'un dispositif experimental et de son installation en pile.
