Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.01(Nuclear Science & Technology)The Engineering Validation of the IFMIF/EVEDA prototype accelerator, up to 9 MeV by supplying the deuteron beam of 125 mA, will be performed at the BA site in Rokkasho. A design of this area monitoring system, comprising of Si semiconductors and ionization chambers for covering wide energy spectrum of -rays and 
He counters for neutrons, is now in progress. To establish an applicability of this monitoring system, photon and neutron energies have to be suppressed to the detector ranges of 1.5 MeV and 15 MeV, respectively. For this purpose, the reduction of neutron and photon energies throughout shield of water in a beam dump and concrete layer is evaluated by PHITS code, using the experimental data of neutron source spectra. In this article, a similar model using the beam dump structure and the position with a degree of leaning for concrete wall in the accelerator vault is used, and their energy reduction including the air is evaluated.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：18.29(Nuclear Science & Technology)In the IFMIF/EVEDA accelerator, the engineering validation up to 9 MeV by employing the deuteron beam of 125 mA are planning at the BA site in Rokkasho, Aomori, Japan, the personnel protection system (PPS) is indispensable. The PPS inhibit the beam by receiving the interlock signal from the -ray and neutron monitoring system. The -ray and neutron detection level which is planned to be adopted are "80 keV to 1.5 MeV (-ray)" and "0.025 eV to 15 MeV (neutron)". For the present shielding design, it is absolutely imperative for the safety review to validate the shielding ability which makes detection level lower than these -ray and neutron detector. For this purpose, the energy reduction of neutron and photon for water and concrete is evaluated by PHITS code. From the calculating results, it is found that the photon energy range extended to 10 MeV by water and concrete shielding material only, an additional shielding to decrease the photon energy of less than 1.5 MeV is indispensable.
