Oral 2. Shielding and dosimetry Session 1

Speaker

Günter Muhrer (European Spallation Source ERIC)

Description

The European Spallation Source is currently being constructed in the Lund, Sweden. As expected for a megawatt class facility, the need for shielding is high, extensive and costly. In support of the project a large number of Monte Carlo particle transport calculations have been performed. As for any simulations, even if one attempts to simulate everything in details, reality will not always play by the roles of the Monte Carlo codes. In this presentation same lessons learned will be given from the experience ESS has gained going through this process.
