A neutron fluence map and a total ionizing dose map of the Los Alamos National Laboratory Godiva IV fast burst critical assembly was generated using passive reactor dosimetry, comprised of sulfur pellets and thermoluminescent dosimeters. Godiva IV is an unmoderated, fast burst, critical assembly constructed of approximately 65 kg of highly enriched uranium fuel alloyed with 1.5 % molybdenum for strength. [1] The mapping was performed during a single 75.6 ºC temperature rise burst operation, with the top and sides of the cylindrical Godiva-IV Top Hat covered in passive dosimetry. Dosimetry was placed in a symmetric pattern around the Top Hat, with higher concentrations near the control rods and burst rod. A specific portion of the lower quadrant of the burst rod was mapped to confirm a testing region where the neutron fluence varied by no more than ± 5%. The results will be used to assess the neutron, gamma, and total ionizing dose environment in three-dimensional space around the assembly for higher fidelity experiment placement, active dosimetry positioning, and radiation field characterization. |
