Shielding Thickness Recommendations for an Activated Target Segment Vertical Stave

This analysis examines the shielding requirements needed to plan maintenance and handling operations of the target segment assembly vertical stave. It provides the analyses and results that fulfill the requirements of Task Order TO-150. The vertical stave is a stainless-steel welded assembly that carries cooling water to and from the target block. In this report, we characterize the dose rates and shielding requirements for the vertical stave only, i.e., separated from the target block. Shielding and dose rates for the target block only have been calculated in response to TO-008.
