Radiant

Does anyone know what kind of radiation levels could be expected during operation of a "normal" commercial LWR reactor? Right in the middle of the fuel rod bundles preferably.

Wouldn't that answer vary by five or six orders of magnitude depending on numerous factors? I mean, I'm no nuclear physicist, but even I can tell that your question is ridiculously vague. It would also depend on what exactly you meant by "radiation levels", as radiation is a lot more complicated than Hollywood makes it out to be.

It would most likely depend on a number of factors, yes, so I'm not really hoping for anything but an order-of-magnitude-range here (though some pointers as to how much this varies with the main contributing factors would of course be nice too). As for what I meant by "radiation levels", it's basically what a geiger counter would read if you stuffed it in there (well, assuming a somewhat ideal and very, very sturdy one). Or if we take a very heat-and-pressure tolerant human and teleport him in, how rad/roentgen/gray/sievert/whatever would he take every [time unit of choice]? This would (I assume) include alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation, though if there are any other loose particles running around in there with a similar effect, then I wouldn't mind if those were included as well.

Though I wouldn't exactly complain if I just got the total neutron flux, better than nothing...

Based on how geiger counters work, I doubt they would pick up neutron/neutrino radiation.

Well, let's just specify it as asking how many sieverts per second a human would be subject to if stuffed in there. That should cover the neutrons as well, and allow us to ignore neutrinos and similar. (Do even get any neutrinos from U236 decaying?)

Neutrons are released, and they decay into protons, electrons, and electron anti neutrinos.

Yet that wasn't the question...

So yes, but indirectly.

How about a fuckton?
