operation mode. A selection of the beam facing materials has to take into account the neutron production<br />

and the activation level as well as the thermal stresses. In the present design, a cone shaped copper with<br />

0.005m thickness is used, and it is surrounded by water tank of a 0.75m-radius.<br />

2.3 Area Monitoring System<br />

Area monitoring system consists of two types; gamma-ray monitors and neutron monitor. The<br />

specifications of these monitors are shown in Table 1, and the location is shown in Fig.1. As shown in Table<br />

1, the detectable energy range of the neutron monitor is from 0.025eV to 15MeV and the directional<br />

characteristics is -60 to +240° for a vertical direction, and that of the gamma-ray monitor is from 80keV to<br />

1.5MeV and ±90° for a horizontal direction, -60 to +240° for a vertical direction. As shown in Fig.1, the<br />

area monitors are installed the external side of accelerator vault.<br />

3. Analysis<br />

3.1 Nuclear data<br />

Deuteron induced thick target neutron yield at 9MeV was measured in collaboration with Kyushu<br />

University because there was no experimental data for Cu(d,nx) reaction in the range of 5-9MeV[6]. The<br />

experimental data which is neutron generation in case of 1 C irradiated to cupper is used as a source term<br />

in neutron transportation, and the energy reduction of photon are evaluated by PHITS code. The JENDL<br />

4.0 is used for nuclear cross-section library.<br />

3.2 Model<br />

A point source which has the neutron angular distribution is used for this analysis as shown in Fig.2.<br />

The neutron point source is located in the center, and the total number of 1.35 x10 10 [n] by a 9MeV-1C<br />

deuteron beam, is emitted. The 0.005m thickness copper is set around the point source. As for concrete
