Neutron streaming along the labyrinth of a generic bunker of an 18MV medical accelerator was evaluated. Monte Carlo simulations using MCNP code were performed to calculate neutron ambient dose equivalent along the labyrinth. The effect of plain, borated and barites concrete wall material, as well as borated concrete and plywood (Celotex), as neutron absorbing wall liners, was examined. The results of the study suggest that plywood can provide a cost effective material to attenuate neutron streaming along the labyrinth.
