In the present work the radial distribution of total gamma doses arising from the interaction of reactor neutrons and gamma radiations inside ilmenite heavy concrete shield are measured. The ilmenite concrete is pierced with neutral beam injector ducts having different diameters and lengths. The results obtained show a relative increase in radial gamma doses at a distance of 10 cm from the neutral beam end. An empirical formula was obtained, fitting the measured gamma doses at the peak position in good agreement within a factor of 1.27. Moreover the variation of the total gamma radiation was measured along straight filled ducted with different diameters and length. The experimental data obtained show a reasonable agreement with calculated ones. The scattered as well as unscattered components of the gamma radiation transmitted through a straight duct were investigated. An empirical formula describing this behaviour was obtained.
