Dose rate distribution in the containment of the CAREM-25 reactor during full power operation

  • 1. Investigacion Aplicada SE (INVAP), San Carlos de Bariloche (Argentina)

Description

The estimation of dose rates in the containment of the CAREM-25 reactor during full power (100 MW) operation was performed in order to: i) verify the ordinary concrete biological shieldings proposed, and ii) classify the different rooms from the radiation protection viewpoint. Thirteen relevant radiation sources were characterized, and the dose rate distribution corresponding to each of the most relevant reported in the form of isodose maps. The results show the utmost importance of the N-16 source due to the exposed layout of the pressure vessel. (author). 7 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab
