Download or read book Safety Analysis of the Los Alamos Critical Experiments Facility written by Hugh C. Paxton. This book was released on 1976. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The safety of Pajarito Site critical assembly operations depends upon protection built into the facility, upon knowledgeable personnel, and upon good practice as defined by operating procedures and experimental plans. Distance, supplemented by shielding in some cases, would protect personnel against an extreme accident generating 1019 fissions. During the facility's 28-year history, the direct cost of criticality accidents has translated to a risk of less than $200 per year.--P. 1.
