Design of a bio-shield to be implemented within an existing structure which allows safe working with protection from radiation.
Overview
Frazer-Nash Consultancy were approached by a UK nuclear fusion company to assist in the design of a structure to surround their tokamak nuclear fusion reactor and contain and absorb nuclear emissions, in the form of neutron and gamma rays.
The structure would have to be constructed around the already installed reactor and equipment, whilst maintaining adherence to safe working standards during and after construction. The shield structure would have to fit within the warehouse that the reactor was situated in, as well as accommodate the various electrical and cryogenic services that feed into the reactor.
