TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the design problems associated with small shields for nuclear reactors, intended for transportation installations, is presented, where the physical problems that arise in the design of small shields are discussed (radiation from the reactor, penetration of γ-rays and neutrons through the shield, the origin and penetration of captureγ-rays, shadow shielding).
Abstract: This article is a survey of the design problems associated with small shields for nuclear reactors, intended for transportation installations. The physical problems that arise in the design of small shields are discussed (radiation from the reactor, penetration ofγ-rays and neutrons through the shield, the origin and penetration of captureγ-rays, shadow shielding), as are the engineering problems (arrangement of the shielding, selection of materials, the most effective sequence of shielding layers).
