In recent studies of tandem mirror reactors some attention has been focused on the problems associated with radiation streaming into penetrations of both the central fusion chamber and the end cells. This work presents the radiation analysis for the end cells of the commercial tandem mirror reactor MARS. The amount of radiation streaming into the penetrations was quantified and the radiation problems at the direct convertor were analyzed.
