AbstractAbstract
[en] In the frame of the FP7 European project MAXSIMA, an extensive simulation study has been done to assess the main shielding problems in view of the construction of the MYRRHA accelerator-driven system at SCK-CEN in Mol (Belgium). An innovative method based on the combined use of the state-of-the-art Monte-Carlo codes MCNPX and FLUKA has been used, with the goal of characterizing complex, realistic neutron fields around the core barrel, to be used as source terms in detailed analyses of the radiation fields due to the system in operation, and of the coupled residual radiation. The main results of the shielding analysis are presented, as well as the construction of an activation database of all the key structural materials. The results evidenced a powerful way to analyse the shielding and activation problems, with direct and clear implications on the design solutions. (authors)
