Popis: An ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) antenna will be installed in the equatorial port plug of the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) for heating ions and electrons in plasma. This study reports the latest neutronic modeling and analyses of antenna for the subsequent optimization of the shielding design, with radiation damage, nuclear heating, gas generation of key components, and shutdown dose rate (SDDR) used as main indicators. Results showed that the nuclear heating of the BP was extremely high, thus posing a high risk to the structure, highlighting the necessity of further upgrading the shielding performance. In addition, the SDDR was more than 100 μSv/hr 12 days after the shutdown, rendering hands-on maintenance in the areas at a short time challenging. Meanwhile, key contributors to higher SDDR have been analyzed.
