Abstract

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency is planning to construct the Transmutation Experimental Facility (TEF) to promote research, development, and demonstration of elemental technologies for accelerator-driven systems (ADSs). At ADS Target Test Facility (TEF-T), 250-kW H– beams accelerated by the 400-MeV LINAC will be derived to a lead-bismuth eutectic target. Toward the construction of TEF, a shielding analysis is carried out for the whole structure of the TEF-T in detail. The analysis for the beam tunnel shows that backward neutrons produced from the LBE target have large a impact on the radiation dose in the TEF beam tunnel. This paper presents the analytical results for components such as target station, hot cell and beam tunnel, and the shielding structure of the whole TEF.
