1956 - Naval Reactors Reactor Shielding Design Manual

The Reactor Shielding Design Manual published in 1956 is one of a series sponsored by the Naval Reactors Branch of the Atomic Energy Commission to evaluate and put into systematic and

intelligible form the technology being developed in the Naval Reactors Program and Pressurized Water Reactor Program.

The document, Reactor Shielding Design Manual (1956), provides comprehensive procedures and data for the design, construction, and testing of shielding for reactor plants, specifically within the Naval Reactors Program and the Shippingport Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) project.
