Abstract :
Dose rate modeling and post irradiation measurements of the Isotope Production Facility (IPF) beamline, at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator have determined that a radiation shielding shutter is required to protect personnel from shine from irradiated targets for routine beam tunnel entries. This paper will describe radiation dose modeling, shielding calculations, and the fail-safe mechanical shutter design.
