Description

Measurements made around the experimental pile 'Marius' made it possible to determine the valid characteristics of the slabs designed to improve the biological protection by covering the charge and discharge pits. These measurements also made it possible to evaluate the risks occurring when the pile is operating at various Powers and to make a reasonable estimate of the value of the ratio of the total danger due to neutrons (thermal and fast) and γ radiation and to the danger due only to the γ radiation. A knowledge of this ratio makes it possible to make satisfactory evaluations with a single apparatus which is really portable. (author)

Abstract (French)

Les mesures faites autour de l'empilement experimental Marius ont permis au Service de Protection contre les Radiations du Centre de Marcoule de determiner valablement les caracteristiques de dalles destinees a ameliorer la protection biologique par la couverture des fosses chargement et dechargement. Ces mesures ont surtout permis d'evaluer les risques presentes par l'empilement fonctionnant a differentes puissances et d'estimer convenablement la valeur du rapport du danger total presente par les neutrons (thermiques et rapides) et le rayonnement y au danger resultant du seul rayonnement γ. La connaissance de ce rapport permet d'effectuer des evaluations parfaitement satisfaisantes avec un seul appareil, de caractere vraiment portatif. (auteur)
