Description

The irradiation facility for BNCT was installed at the IR beam tube of HANARO, and the leakages of neutron and gamma-ray were measured. The safety in the installation work was ensued by using the special jigs with the working procedure verified through the pre-exercises. The lead gasket containing a small amount of antimony was developed and used for He sealing in the IR beam tube. When the water shutter was closed, the neutron leakage was negligible, and the maximum dose rate of gamma-ray at the 10 MW of reactor power was 12 mSv/hr. The geometry of front shielding was determined by using this measurement result
