In Tore-Supra, neutron productions up to 10{sup 20} neutrons/year are expected. Calculations based on 1-D and 3-D codes have been made before the assembly phase. A strategy has been established to reconcile high neutron levels with the needs of an experimental device, i.e. access to the tokamak. Operation at low power (8.5 10{sup 16} neutrons) has allowed an initial set of measurements, which has been compared to the calculations. Quite good agreement is observed, especially for fast neutrons. A difference for slow neutrons is attributed to a small quantity of boron added in the concrete wall surrounding the experiment and to safety factors in the computations.
