Abstract
The detailed shielding analysis has been performed in order to find a configuration of the radiation shielding in the accelerator building necessary for the operation of the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc), which is under construction in Rokkasho, Japan, at the full power of 1.125 MW to satisfy the radiation dose limit prescribed by Japanese regulations. The final design of the beam dump constructed by CIEMAT, Spain was fully taken into consideration. The impact of all the features potentially causing neutron streaming were investigated and the optimization of local additional shieldings were conducted. As the result, the most important one was found to be the air ventilation duct shield, which completely covers the ducts and creates an additional labyrinth. By considering the additional shielding configuration determined in the present study, the legal criteria at the controlled area boundary can be completely satisfied.
