Abstract

To support Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) [1] accelerator commissioning stages, detailed predictions for radiation fields induced inside and outside of the accelerator tunnel were performed using the Monte Carlo code MCNPX. On the basis of neutronics analyses, proper shielding was developed and installed in key locations to reduce dose rates in occupied areas. Absorbed dose and dose equivalent rates were monitored by radiation measurement devices both inside and outside of the tunnel areas. The measured radiation fields were analyzed and compared to radiation transport simulations.
