Abstract

Intermediate results of biological shielding of calculations for storage rings are presented. ²³⁸U ions are accelerated in nuclotron up to the energy 3.5 GeV/nucleon and extracted to storage rings. The beam intensity of the order makes about 5∙10¹⁰ pps. Beam losses due to collisions with residual gas and on elements of the construction of a path both in work and adjustment modes were considered in calculation.
