GAMMA SHIELD DESIGN FOR PRIMARY COOLANT SOURCES USING THE IBM TYPE 650 COMPUTER

Description: A shield design method employing the IBM type 650 computer is developed. All the necessary equations and procedures are presented. Special attention was given to computation methods and the forms and parameters of the equations to attain minimum storage space and calculating time on the computer. The resulting equations apply only to gamma radiation due to the activation of pressurized water in primary coolant systems (6 Mev decay gamma source). The same analysis may be used however for other s… more
