This technical report summarizes the results obtained on surface radiation properties of ThO/sub 2/ and other related reactor materials. Specifically, the present study provides surface radiation properties of three nuclear reactor materials; thorium dioxide, sodium and steel (99 Fe + 1 C). First, based on transmission spectra and Kramers-Kronig analysis, the complex refractive index, which is fundamental to surface radiation property calculations, of ThO/sub 2/ is presented over a wide spectral range. Then depending on the contacting media, three types of the surface are considered. They are the interfaces between ThO/sub 2/ and Sodium, ThO/sub 2/ and Steel (99 Fe …

Description
This technical report summarizes the results obtained on surface radiation properties of ThO/sub 2/ and other related reactor materials. Specifically, the present study provides surface radiation properties of three nuclear reactor materials; thorium dioxide, sodium and steel (99 Fe + 1 C). First, based on transmission spectra and Kramers-Kronig analysis, the complex refractive index, which is fundamental to surface radiation property calculations, of ThO/sub 2/ is presented over a wide spectral range. Then depending on the contacting media, three types of the surface are considered. They are the interfaces between ThO/sub 2/ and Sodium, ThO/sub 2/ and Steel (99 Fe + 1 C) as well as ThO/sub 2/ and a gas. For each interface, the spectral interface reflectance from one side of the medium to the other side is evaluated for all wavelengths.
