SHIELDING CALCULATIONS FOR A BOILING WATER REACTOR

H.G. Fendler, H. Preusch, L. Sellen

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Shielding calculations for neutrons (fission neutrons and thermal neutrons) are described in a two-group program, but for gamma radiation ten energy groups are used. These calculations were carried out for the determination of shielding a boiling water reactor with approximately 60 Mw(t). The flux distributions were calculated for different combinations. Graphic figures of these fluxes are shown and discussed. (auth)
