The ESS bunker (I) The ESS bunker is a common shielding structure, which extends from the outer surface of the monolith, located at 5.5m from the target, to 15 m for the short instrument sector and to 28m in the long instrument sectors The Bunker is filled of components, metallic guides, chopper, shutter collimators. We would like to have access to the inside of the bunker during maintenance in steady operation 3 3 4thInternational W orkshop on A ccelerator R adiation Induced A ctivation

T he N M X instrument The NMX instrument is a time-of-flight (TOF) quasi- Laue diffractometer optimised for small samples and large unit cells. NMX is dedicated to the structure determination of biological macromolecules by crystallography. The scientific driver is to locate the hydrogen atoms Where are the hydrogen important?

Conclusions Conclusions We have performed neutronic calculation of the NMX instrument at ESS W or Cu Collimators significantly decrease the dose outiside the bunker (very low high energy component) W or Cu collimators are a better choice than steel collimators due to the activation considerations 2 6 2 6 4thInternational W orkshop on A ccelerator R adiation Induced A ctivation
