Abstract
This work presents neutronic analyses to support the design of the test facility of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) in the framework of the Broader Approach activities. In order to evaluate the necessary biological shielding thickness and the reliability of remote handling tools for activated components inside the Test Cell, a detailed activation analysis has been carried out to obtain a detailed residual dose map resulting from the entire High Flux Test Module and Test Cell by utilizing the McDeLicious-11 Monte Carlo code and the mesh-tally based rigorous 2-Step approach (R2Smesh) developed at KIT. The absorbed dose rate expected at the working place of remote handling tools inside the Test Cell is approximately 100 Gy/h. A wall thickness of 150 cm for heavy concrete can be used as the design basis for hot cells in the test facility.
