Creators

Description

Neutron dose rates inside a PWR containment have been calculated using the DOT-DOMINO-MORSE technique. These dose rates are compared to measurements performed by teams from the Health Physics Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. A simple method for extrapolating neutron dose rates at the top of the refueling pool to other areas in PWR containments is outlined
