DECONTAMINATION OF FINITE RECTANGULAR AREAS

Abstract

The CONSTRIP III computer code was used to calculate the reduction factors within singly story rectangular buildings due to finite rectangular areas of contamination surrounding the buildings. The CONSTRIP code permitted breaking the reduction factors into wall scattered and non-wall scattered components from finite source strips up to 200 ft wide. Decontamination importance factors were determined for finite areas subjected to both 1.25 Mev and 0.66 Mev contamination. The directional responses for wall scattered radiation coming from above and below the detector plane were determined separately for finite source fields.
