Sumario:Calculation data of neutron effective dose behind concrete shielding with thickness up to 3 meters is presented. The calculations have been performed by the Monte Carlo and phenomenological methods for monoenergetic neutrons with energy from 5 to 100 MeV as well as for neutron spectra produced by protons with energies of 30 and 72 MeV in thick targets. Comparison between calculations of neutron effective dose behind shielding using phenomenological approach and those by the Monte Carlo method normally shows agreement to within a factor of better than two, i.e. estimation of shielding thickness by those methods shall not exceed one half value layer of neutron effective dose attenuation in shielding. It amounts from 10 to 30 cm of concrete shielding for neutron energies and thickness of shields under consideration
