Shielding capability

Cavendish Nuclear

Cavendish Nuclear's radiation shielding team provides design services across the project lifecycle.

Highly experienced radiation shielding team, providing design services for the full project lifecycle from concept design through to operation, plant modification and decommissioning.

Extensive experience of integrating with engineering design teams, working to UK regulations and industry best practice.

  • UK industry standard radiation transport codes: MCBEND; MCNP; RANKERN and MicroShield
  • Assessment of bulk and detailed shielding for simple and complex geometries (from waste packages to reactors)
  • Optimisation of shielding to support engineering design solutions
  • Determination of external radiation exposure to workers and members of the public from photon, neutron and beta-ray radiation sources
  • Integrated into the wider Cavendish Nuclear Radiation Protection team.
  • Neutron Activation and Source Term Assessments
  • Assessment of neutron activation utilising a combination of MCNP/MCBEND and SCALE
  • Complex source generation and decay (including fuel inventories) utilising SCALE
