RESUMEN
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of the second bend of the maze, on the neutron dose equivalent, in the 15MV linear accelerator vault, with two bend maze. These two bends of the maze were covered by 32 points where the neutron dose equivalent was measured. There is one available method for estimation of the neutron dose equivalent at the entrance door of the two bend maze which was tested using the results of the measurements. The results of this study show that the neutron equivalent dose at the door of the two bend maze was reduced almost three orders of magnitude. The measured TVD in the first bend (closer to the inner maze entrance) is about 5m. The measured TVD result is close to the TVD values usually used in the proposed models for estimation of neutron dose equivalent at the entrance door of the single bend maze. The results also determined that the TVD in the second bend (next to the maze entrance door) is significantly lower than the TVD values found in the first maze bend.
