Abstract
Shielding analyses of the ITER neutral beam injector (NBI) ports have been performed using three-dimensional Monte Carlo and two-dimensional discrete ordinates SN methods. The biological dose rates inside the cryostat after r eactor shutdown are expected to be lower than design target of 100 mu Sv/h for the current NBI reference design with similar to 60 cm thick NBI port w alls. It was also observed that the total nuclear heating in the toroidal f ield (TF) coils satisfies the design limit of 17 kW when the port wall is 4 0 cm thick. The SN calculations, performed using a rectangular model of the NBI, overestimate the dose rates at the cryostat and nuclear heating in TF coils by factors of ten and two, respectively, compared to Monte Carlo res ults obtained using a more accurate representation of the NBI system.
