The experimental components

To determine acceptable radiation levels for the planned attenuation

experiments, a maximum attenuation experiment was conceived for the

purpose of analysis. In this experiment, the transmission o f f a s t

neutrons and gamma rays through 1 m of SS-304 would be measured.

porating a l-rn-thick SS-304 shield attenuates the f a s t neutron flux by

e i g h t orders of magnitude. A large portion of the epithermal portion of

the neutron f lux , however, escapes from the shield and contributes t o the

The shield design calculations were carried o u t using the two- 6 dimensional radiation transport code DOT incorporating a 45-neutron,

Calculational resu l t s fo r two thicknesses of the proposed thermal

B. Optimization -l.-.._.-_.._.__.l o f the Calculational Model

In order t o minimize the computing time i n the analysis of the

radiation transport i n the various experimental shield configurations, the

to t a l room geometry shown i n Fig. 3 was reduced to the smaller, b u t equi-

valent, geometry. The geometry shown in F i g . 3 including the 10-cm-thick

thermal shield ( see , f o r example, Fig.10) requires 76 radial and 92 axial

mesh intervals t o describe the various components. I f the geometry can

be reduced and s t i l l reproduce the f l u x contours i n the vicini ty of the

detector location, considerable savings i n computation time and core

storage can be real i zed

The calculational geometry was reduced by replacing the room walls

by albedo surfaces having a reflection factor of 0.20 f o r a l l energy

groups and relocating these surfaces along the radial boundary o f the

concrete support/shield. Also, the rear wall of the room was relocated

i n the model by placing i t immediately behind the thermal neutron shield.

Results o f transport calculations obtained u s i n g t h i s geometry (which i s

now described u s i n g 42 radial and 82 axial mesh intervals) are shown i n

the form o f isoflux con-tours in F i g s . 14 and 1 5 .

The isoflux contours of the neutron flux above 600 keV and the gamma

ray flux above 550 keV shown i n Figs. 14 and 15, respectively, agree very

favorably w i t h the corresponding data shown i n Figs. 11 and 13,
