Shield design for the Joint European Torus

  • 1. United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Winfrith, Eng.

Description

The shield design for the blockhouse of the Joint European Torus is described. The material chosen was light concrete and the problems examined were direct penetration of the shield walls and skyshine after escape through the blockhouse roof. The Monte Carlo methods developed originally for fission reactor design were applied to this situation, and the ANISN-SWANLAKE codes were used in the estimation of the uncertainties. A wall of thickness 250 cm and a roof of 210 cm were found to meet the shielding requirements
