Evaluating the performance of the shielding walls and shielding doors at radiation facilities is important to ensure proper radiation safety management. In the first period of the deuterium experiment, the neutronshielding ability of the shielding door of the experimental hall containing the large helical device (LHD) was evaluated using the gold-foil activation method. The gold foil was inserted into a small gap between the shielding door and the shielding wall. Meanwhile, the shielding effect of the wall against the neutrons and gamma rays was verified using the badge-type dosimeters that were placed both inside and outside the experimental hall near the wall. The radiation derived from Au-198, which was visualized using by imaging plate, reached approximately 35 cm inside the shielding door. The results provided visual evidence that the shielding door safely excluded the thermal neutrons that were generated in an LHD. Furthermore, the measurement results of the badge-type dosimeters confirmed that the neutrons and gamma rays were completely trapped by the concrete wall of the experimental hall.
