RADIATION SHIELDING FOR COMPACT AND TRANSPORTABLE NUCLEAR POWER SYSTEMS

A mobile reactor radiation shielding solution prevents activation of structural materials to reduce a radiation dosage risk to living organisms and accelerates timetables for transport. The shielding solution can include: in-vessel neutron shield, in-vessel shadow shield, transport shield, and module shadow shield. In-vessel neutron shield reduces and prevents the activation of the structural materials and significantly reduces the need for heavy shielding to shield against the gamma emissions from activated structural materials. In-vessel shadow shield provides neutron and gamma shielding between the reactor and a balance-of-plant (BOP) module and control system. In-vessel shadow shield is placed near the active nuclear core to minimize size of the shield while maximizing the protected arc to shield radiation workers while preparing the nuclear reactor for transport. Transport shield is used during transportation when living organisms come into proximity of the reactor. Module shadow shield shields reactor control components and BOP module during operation.
