Radiation shield at Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) facility based on D-D Neutron Generator 2.4 MeV has been modified with pre-designed beam shaping assembly (BSA). Modeling includes the material and thickness used in the radiation shield. This radiation shield is expected to protect workers from radiation doses rate that is not exceed 20 mSv·year-1 of dose limit values. The selected materials are barite, paraffin, polyethylene and lead. Calculations were performed using the MCNPX program with tally F4 to determine the dose rate coming out of the radiation shield not exceeding the radiation dose rate of 10 μSv·hr-1. Design 3 was chosen as the recommended model of the four models that have been made. The 3rd shield design uses a 100 cm thickness of barite concrete as primamary layer to surrounding 100 cm x 100 cm x 166.4 cm room, and a 40 cm borated polyethylene surrounding the barite concrete material. Then 10 cm barite concrete and 10 cm of borated polyethylene are added to reduce the primary radiation straight from the BSA after leaving the main layer. The largest dose rate was 4.58 μSv·h-1 on cell 227 and average radiation dose rate 0.65 μSv·hr-1. The dose rates are lower than the lethal dose that is allowed by BAPETEN for radiation worker lethal dose.
