Abstract
AbstractAs one of the areas with highest radiation risk in nuclear power plant with neutron and gamma ray radiation emitted from the reactor core, the reactor pit in reactor building has great radiation impact on personnel radiation safety by neutron. In order to further improve the shielding design effort of reactor pit, the MC-MC coupled method is developed. By applying the MCNP code and SuperMC code, the variance of the effective dose rate and thermal neutron flux inside the reactor pit is lower than 5% by consuming 6.7 h. The result shows that the MC-MC coupled method can effectively solve neutron shielding problem in large scale or in complex space.
