A Note on Importance Functions for the Shielding of Manned Space Vehicles

Description: The tissue dose calculations of Kinney were used to calculate several importance functions associated with the dose from primary and secondary particles in the tissue due to penetration of an aluminum shield by a solar-flare proton spectrum. Secondary particles produced in the shield were not considered. (auth)

A FORTRAN PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING RESIDUAL RADIATION LEVELS IN HIGH-ENERGY CHARGED-PARTICLE ACCELERATORS

Description: A FORTRAN II program is described for utilizing cross section data for spallation products to obtain an estimate of the residual radiation from the bombardment of materials with high-energy particles. The program listing is included, together with sample input and output. (auth)

Status of the SNAP-50 reactor fuels parametric studies. Part I

Description: Declassified 6 Sep 1973. Results of the parametric study are given for both present and advanced capability (2 and 8 MW). Fuels which result in minimum reactor weights are UC/UN (95% dense), UC/UN--1W for the 2 MW design, UC/ UN-1W for 8 MW. Effects of fuel clad and fuel maximum temperature on the reactor weight were also studied. Recommendations are made for the 2-MW SNAP-50/ SPUR fuel element development and reactor design program, and for additional parametric studies. (DLC)

Corrosion of plutonium metal when stored in containers having plastic components

Description: The conclusions are: (1) The formation of powder or ``oxide`` in the storage container is caused almost entirely by packaging of plutonium in plastic materials. (2) The corrosion of the plutonium follows degradation of the plastic due to the intense radiation. (3) The powder, formed by this corrosion is not PuO{sub 2} but a mixture of oxides, hydrides, and chlorides in varying proportions, depending on the type and amount of plastic in the individual storage container. (4) The powder consists p… more

Cross Sections for Reactor Analysis

Description: A listing of the data on the revised tape is presented. The nuclear data are a reproduction of the computer printout. Other nuclear data (spectra, energy, absorption cross section of some poisons and absorption and fission cross sections of selected fuel materials) were transcribed from the tape listing to provide a more compact format or to allow easier comparison of absorbers and fuels.

Measurements of Radiation Intensities in Vertical Concrete-Lined Holes and an Adjoining Tunnel at the Tower Shielding Facility

Description: Fast neutron and gamma-dose rates within 4-ft-dia., 20-ft-deep, concrete- lined holes were measured at the Tower Shielding Facility. The radiation source was the Tower Shielding Reactor II (TSR-II) enclosed in a shield that modified the neutron to gamma ratio of the reactor leakage spectrum to more closely resemble that of a weapon spectrum. The holes were located at horizontal distances of 100, 228, and 450 ft from the reactor. From the hole at 100 ft extended a reinforced concrete-lined tunne… more
