摘要：
A portable NG-9 D-T generator can produce fast neutrons with 14 MeV energy in a maximum yield of 4 x 10(8) n/s. Shielding around the neutron emitter is necessary to protect the operators from radiation exposure. MCNP5 was used to evaluate the dose rates in a generic building with an activation room and corresponding six surrounding rooms. Several designs of shielding structure were evaluated to ensure that the total dose rates in surrounding rooms are all less than 5 mu Sv/h. The annual operating time can reach to at least 4081 h around the activation room for the final design.
