HAND CALCULATION METHOD FOR PRELIMINARY SHIELD DESIGN

The hand calculation method provides a means of estimating secondary shielding requirements during preliminary ship design stages. It was developed to compute dose rates from the primary loop of water moderated and cooled reactors of the pressurized or boiling water types. This report provides background information on the fundamentals and terminology of shield design, describes the principles of the hand calculation method and contains instructions, from and data for the application.
