The China Lead-Alloy Cooled Research Reactor (CLEAR-I) is critical/sub-critical dual-models natural circulation lead alloy cooled reactor. This study is to focus on the concern radiation shielding design and analysis for CLEAR-I. The modeling program MCAM and calculation system VisualBUS developed by FDS Team was used based on Monte Carlo method and other coupled methods. As indicated by the results, the dose rate in the reactor plant (outside the containing compartment above the reactor) was below 9 uSv/h during operation and less than 1 uSv/h during shutdown, meeting with the requirements of shielding.

The Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is working on the construction of a cyclotron centre. The facility is on a design level. At this stage of the project, an important task is the radiation shielding assessment of the facility. Nowadays, the Monte Carlo transport codes have become the tool of choice for solving this type of problem. In the current paper, the transport code FLUKA is used for the calculations. It is widely applied for shielding design and analysis of accelerators and their components. The distributions of the radiation fields inside and outside the cyclotron bunker are presented in this paper. Both different irradiation scenarios and bunker configurations are considered in the conducted Monte Carlo simulations. These results will be used as a guidance in site planning.
