How Deep Should Water Be in a Spent Fuel Pool to Safely Shield Radiation?

[atomicpedals]

Hello,

I'm working on a final paper for a HP class (ugrad/grad) and could use some suggestions. The problem I'm working on is determining the depth of water in a spent fuel pool, above a full core offload, required to reduce the exposure leve to X mGy/hr from fission products and principal actinides.

My question is actually pretty basic; can anyone suggest any possible resources to consult other than James Turner's text?Thanks for any suggestions!

Found another text to help me out... for those keeping score:

'Radiation Protection and Dosemitry' by Stabin
