Heat Generation in Thermal Shields

One of 5,957 items in the series: Atomic Energy Commission Reports available on this site.

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

"Heat production resulting from the absorption of gamma ray photons in thermal shields and the leakage of neutrons and photons from ferritic thermal shields are investigated. The gamma rays considered arise from three types of reactor radiation -- thermal neutrons, fast neutrons, and core and reflector gammas. The energy spectra of the fast neutron leakage and absorption have been investigated in some detail because of the significant contribution of fast neutrons to the heating of the concrete biological shield."

Physical Description

45 p., ill.
