Abstract

The reactor building is the area with highest radiation risk in nuclear power plant (NPP) and a systematic shielding design optimization procedure is absent in shielding design process. In order to find out more shielding design improvement issues in reactor building, the as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) methodology is established in combination with ALARA principle and optioneering procedure. By applying ALARA methodology for fuel transfer canal shielding design, the shielding design around fuel transfer canal is optimized and the optimal shielding design option can reduce the construction cost, speed up the design schedule and satisfy the nuclear safety.
