Abstract
The European fusion technology programme considers two test blanket modules, both helium-cooled, one with lithium ceramic pebbles and beryllium and other with Pb–Li eutectic alloy. The high level of neutron flux required for tritium breeding and the neutron multiplication properties of Be and Pb imply the need for a large neutron attenuation in the associated shielding to meet the shutdown dose requirements.A new SEACAB methodology has been developed to apply the rigorous two-step method with the use of the mesh tally of MCNPX and activation code ACAB and it has been qualified with the results of the 2nd campaign of the “duct-experiment” performed with Frascati Neutron Generator in a block of steel and moderator layers with a central cavity where the residual photon flux and dose were measured.
