Alternate shield material feasibility

Alternate shield material feasibility [electronic resource]

The feasibility and cost/benefit of using materials other than stainless steel for in-vessel neutron shielding in large LMFBRs were investigated. Canned vibratorally compacted B₄C powder shields were found to be much more economical than stainless steel (a savings of $1.1M in loop plant designs and...
