| Abstract: | The proposed intense
14 MeV neutron source at IPR is accelerator based using the T(d,n) reaction. This facility
will be indigenously built and used for the fusion Neutronics studies.
Deuterium ions will be accelerated up to 300 keV in an electrostatic
acceleration column delivering a maximum beam current of 20 mA. The beam will
be made to impinge a water cooled, rotating tritium target. The expected
neutron yield will be ~1012 neutron per second. This paper describes
the preliminary design of the neutron generator and the MCNP model results of
the shielding calculations. The calculation of dose rate has been carried out
for the optimum thickness of concrete shield.
