ESDU Noise in Nuclear Facilities
Methods on the propagation and suppression of noise in nuclear facilities are provided. Noise reduction in flow ducts, shielding by barriers, atmospheric attenuation, ground reflection, and wind and temperature effects are covered. Although primarily aimed at the aerospace industry, these methods can estimate noise attenuation from various sources in nuclear facilities.
