LECTURE NOTES ON REACTOR SHIELDING

Description: The lectures were developed at the International School of Science and Engineering at Argonne National Laboratory for the Argonne employees but are considered adequate for a one-semester-hour course. Reactor shield design and associated shielding problems are discussed as well as problems associated with radioactivity of coolants and components, radiation heating of structural materials, and handling of spent fuels.

A Summary of Shielding Constants for Concrete

Description: The present knowledge of the shielding constants of concrete is summarized. The densities, elemental compositions, and mixes, where available, are given for a wide range of concretes. From these data, various constants useful for shielding calculations were computed. These constants include the removal cross sections, total cross sections, average thermal neutron absorption cross sections, thermal neutron diffusion coefficients, reciprocal thermal neutron diffusion lengths, total gamma-ray lineā€¦ more
