Reactor cavity radiation streaming
- 1. Stone and Webster Engineering Corp., Boston, MA
Description
A methodology has been developed to predict neutron and gamma doses on the operating floors of PWR's due to radiation streaming from reactor cavities. Favorable agreement between calculated neutron doses and measured data was found for a typical PWR. Among conclusions reached are that (1) neutrons with energies greater than 0.8 MeV in the annular region at the pressure vessel head flange elevation do not contribute significantly to the dose rates above the operating floor, and (2) gamma rays emanating from the reactor cavity do not constitute a significant contribution to the gamma ray dose rates on the operating floor
