Abstract
During the D­T operation of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the dose inside
ITER building is attributed to neutrons and gamma-rays streaming from various openings in the machine, whereas
after shutdown, it is solely due to the decay gammas from activated components inside the building. In the present
study, two cases of different geometrical arrangement are considered (Case A and Case C) in which the impact of the
