Recommendations are given on methods of calculation for use in the design of shields for the gas cooled, graphite moderated, natural uranium reactors of the U.K. Civil Power Program. Topics dealt with include: primary shielding of neutron and gamma radiation, nuclear heating, coolant activation, fission product energy decay rates, and radiation streaming in ducts. A new method of calculating neutron penetration is introduced and compared with experimental measurements in a Calder Hall Reactor shield. (auth)
