Review of methods for analysis of neutron streaming in the Fast Flux Test Facility reactor design

F.R. Mynatt

Abstract

The FFTF neutron streaming calculation is considered as consisting of four steps: (1) calculation of the source entering the reactor cavity, (2) calculation of the reactor cavity, (3) calculation of the reactor cavity shield, and (4) calculation of the vessel support system, head, and maintenance floor shield. Calculational methods used in each step are discussed. (DG)
