TL;DR: In this article, the behavior and properties of concrete structures for shielding atomic power plants are discussed and methods for estimating thermal effects associated with linear and non-linear distributions of temperature, nuclear heating, and shield cooling are presented.
Abstract: The behavior and properties of concrete structures for shielding atomic power plants are discussed briefly. Methods are presented for estimating thermal effects associated with linear and non-linear distributions of temperature, nuclear heating, and shield cooling. These data and procedures are subsequently used for analyzing several design problems and thermal criteria.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of manufacturing structural honeycomb with superior insulation effectiveness, by the incorporation of integral heat radiation shields into the current process of manufacturing honeycomb hexagonal cells as formed by expanding a block of flat laminations.
Abstract: A method of manufacturing structural honeycomb with superior insulation effectiveness, by the incorporation of integral heat radiation shields into the current process of manufacturing honeycomb hexagonal cells as formed by expanding a block of flat laminations. The heat radiation shields are initially in the form of flat ribbons of thin low emissivity metal coated plastic film, which are bonded between each lamination, in a direction normal to either the adhesive lines, strips, or stripes, or unmasked stripes, strips, or lines, used to bond the honeycomb nodes. The ribbons are formed of compressed pleats, which open up when the flat laminated block is expanded, closing off each hexagonal cell with spaced heat radiation shields.
