dc.description.abstract	The medium scale PF‐24 facility was installed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN), Poland. The MCNP model of the PF ‐ 24 device in the main hall of the laboratory was elaborated. Two variants of the plasma source emitting particles were considered: a point neutron source and a volume source with photon and neutron emission. Based on presented calculations the influence of the laboratory construction (the walls, the ceiling and the floor) on neutron and photon space distributions in the main hall were assessed. A study of fast uncolided and collided neutrons contributions to the total field of neutrons was performed. The contribution of photons emitted directly from the source and created as the result of neutron scattering was established. Neutron spectra at selected points were calculated.	en_US
