A SIMPLE METHOD FOR CALCULATION OF GAMMA-RAY SHIELDING PROPERTIES OF SHELTER ENTRANCEWAYS

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0451688 | Open PDF

Abstract:

An empirical equation is described for calculating the attenuation factor for gamma radiation within a ducted entranceway into a shelter. Some sample problems are worked, and a discussion is given of the accuracy of the formula.
