Abstract: A radiation shield has been added to the DIII-D tokamak facility to allow an increased neutron production rate without an increased radiation exposure to the public and to personnel. The goal is to reduce the biological dose level at the site boundary by a factor of 300. Shielding analyses were performed extensively using a 3D Monte Carlo neutron-photon coupled code (MCNP) for varied geometry and material combinations. The calculated total dose at the site boundary (83 m from the tokamak) is approximately 10/sup -17/ mrem per D-D neutron with the new shield in place, and 3*10/sup -15/ mrem without the new shield.>
