Abstract
Abstract Shutdown dose rate (SDR) calculations for the lithium loop cell (LLC) of the IFMIF-DONES (International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility- DEMO Oriented NEutron Source) have been performed in this work. A new version of Rigorous 2-Step code R2Smesh-3.0 was utilized, which shows improvements on efficiency, robustness, and reliability in SDR simulations. The quality of the dose map in the LLC has been improved using a weight-window mesh, combining with an intensity-based source sampling technique. The dose rate in most of the area of the LLC is below 0.5 μSv/h at one day after shutdown. Strong gamma streaming through the empty lithium pipe is a possible concern for the lithium loop maintenance.
