This paper describes the Heat and Radiation Shield (HRS). It serves to protect the superconducting coils of the Mu2e Production Solenoid (PS) from the intense radiation generated by the 8 GeV kinetic energy primary proton beam striking the production target within the warm bore of the PS. This shield also protects the coils in the far upstream end of the Transport Solenoid (TS), a straight section of coils called TS1, at the exit from the PS. The HRS aperture should allow the maximum stopping rate of negative muons in the Detector Solenoid stopping target. Requirements to the Heat and Radiation Shield are discussed in the paper.
