The results of theoretical studies of the shielding of the Melusine Reactor are presented. Protection against the core radiation is given by the depth of immersion of the core and the dimensions of the pool. Lateral protection is also offered by the concrete walls. The dimensions of the pool are sketched. The problem of the activation of construction materials is then discussed, with a consideration of the water, the internal walls of the pool, the iron embedded in the concrete, the aluminum claddings, and the plugs. The validity of the theoretical calculations have been verified by experience. (J.S.R.)
