Abstract
A neutron streaming shield comprising a plurality of wire mesh baskets, each basket located between two adjacent vessel nozzles, the total area of the nozzles and baskets being sufficient to intercept any streaming neutrons. The baskets are substantially filled with a multiplicity of randomly packed lumps of a neutron attenuating material, preferably a borated-hydrogenated-argillaceous media. Since the basket is somewhat flexible, it can be inserted in the annulus above the nozzles and then filled with the lumped material, forming a plurality of barriers to compliment the attenuating affect of the nozzles, such that any streaming neutrons will be stopped either by the nozzles or the lumped material in the baskets.
