In this post, we will see the book Problems in reactor shielding physics – Collection of articles by D. L. Broder, V. V Orlov, S. G. Tsypin, A. P. Veselkin, Yu. A. Yegorov.

About the book

This collection of articles includes works which are
concerned with the experimental and theoretical investigation of the biological shielding of nuclear reactors as
well as works on the methodology and instruments for studying the shielding.

The works consider different analytical methods which
make it possible to determine the three-dimensional energy
and angular distribution of radiations in the shielding,
the results of many experiments with radiations penetrating through homogeneous and multilayer shieldings through
shieldings with heterogeneities and others.

Some of the works describe various devices to determine the fluxes and the spectral radiation distribution
beyond the shielding and inside the shielding. These
works also consider the method of analyzing the characteristics of devices and the process of measurement results.

This collection will be useful to a wide circle of
readers concerned with the analysis and design of biological shielding of reactors and to specialists interested
in the transmission of radiations through a substance, as
well as to those working in the field of experimental
nuclear physics.
