The objective of radiation shielding design for nuclear reactors is to minimize external radiation doses(ALARA principle)by selecting appropriate shielding materials and structures to meet safety requirements for personnel.Furthermore,given the extensive use of nuclear energy in various sectors,shielding design must strike a balance between safety standards and considerations of compactness and lightweight design,as seen in marine nuclear power,land-based nuclear power sources,and space reactors.Thus,radiation shielding design for nuclear react...
