THE DOUNREAY FAST REACTOR VAULT CHARACTERISATION USING THE MONTE CARLO N-PARTICLE CODE AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT DECOMMISSIONING PLANNING

THE DOUNREAY FAST REACTOR VAULT CHARACTERISATION USING THE MONTE CARLO N-PARTICLE CODE AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT DECOMMISSIONING PLANNING

A combined empirical and theoretical characterisation approach was taken in order to investigate the activity distribution and inventory in the Dounreay Fast Reactor (DFR) vault, so as to aid with the decommissioning and waste management strategy of the cooling circuits located within the shielded v...
