In high power proton accelerator facilities, concrete shield can be highly activated, which makes maintenance work quite difficult. So, a low-activationized concrete (limestone concrete) is to be partially adopted as a concrete shield for Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) aiming at reducing $$gamma$$-ray exposure dose during maintenance period. A new quantity, $$^{24}$$Na-equivalent, was introduced as a criterion to assure effectiveness of the low-activationized concrete. In order of its verification, powdered low-activationized concrete and ordinary one were irradiated using FNS at JAERI. The measurements were analyzed by a shielding design code system being used for J-PARC, showing that the calculations reproduce the measured induced activity within a factor of 2. Furthermore, by using the same code system, $$gamma$$-ray exposure dose was calculated for the configuration of J-PARC to find out that $$gamma$$-ray exposure dose by the low-activationized concrete was about 10 times lower than that by the ordinary concrete in a period of less than a few days after operation.
