TL;DRAbstract

Benchmark, parametric, and design-confirmation shielding measurements are made at the Tower Shielding Facility (TSF) in Oak Ridge. A powerful reactor (to 1 MW thermal) is used with spectral modifiers to provide neutron spectra close to those associated with the various parts of an LMFBR. The source strength allows measurements through shields of full reactor thickness using sensitive detectors. The detectors include spectrometers and dosimeters for both neutrons and gamma rays. A large exclusion area provides much flexibility in arranging shield assemblies to be studied.
