(5.0-9.0MeV), a high energy beam transport line and a beam dump (9MeV-125mA CW) [4]. In the<br />

accelerator building, an accelerator vault is surrounded by the concrete wall with thickness of 1.5m. For the<br />

radiation controlled area (with no possibility of RI contamination), the effective dose rate has to be<br />

suppressed to less than 12.5 micro Sv/h with no neutron leakage. For Personal Protection System [PPS] in<br />

the prototype accelerator, a design study of the area monitoring system, comprising of Si semiconductors<br />

and ionization chambers for covering wide energy spectrum of gamma-rays and 3 He counters for neutrons,<br />

is now in progress. In this system, the upper limits of detectable photon and neutron energies are set to be<br />

1.5MeV and 15MeV, respectively. In the previous works, the reduction of neutron and photon energies<br />

penetrating through shield of water and concrete layers were evaluated by using PHITS code, and it was<br />

found that the highest photon energy exceeded over 10MeV when the shield consists of water and concrete<br />

layers only [5]. In order to fulfill the requirement of the maximum photon energy, a model with iron layer is<br />

evaluated.<br />

2. IFMIF/EVEDA Accelerator<br />

2.1 Accelerator Building<br />

A schematic drawing of the prototype accelerator is shown in Fig.1. The IFMIF/EVEDA accelerator<br />

building in Rokkasho site has the total area of 2019.5m 2 , and the accelerator vault has the inside area of W:<br />

8.0m x D: 41.5m x H: 7.0m. The vault is surrounded by concrete walls of 1.5m thickness. Additional local<br />

concrete shield of 0.5m thickness around the beam dump is also planned.<br />

2.2 Beam Dump<br />

A beam dump is required stopping the deuteron beam with maximum power of 1.125 MW in the CW<br />
