Abstract:
Concrete walls 4 to 6 ft thick, constructed inside 50-ft diameter steel chambers at the Shippingport, Pa., atomic power plant, serve as shielding against radioactivity. Paper describes unusual construction practices occasioned by limited access to chamber interiors. Concrete was a standord density, 3000-psi mix made with Type I S cement.
