Radiation shield design for LMFBR spent-fuel shipping casks

Creators

Description

Previous analyses have examined a limited number of the alternatives available for designing an LMFBR spent-fuel shipping cask (SFSC) using a non-volatile neutron shield; i.e., a neutron shield which will not be lost in an accident involving a fire. The present study extends the scope of these hypothetical designs to include combinations of volatile and non-volatile neutron shield materials
