AB  - A compact and efficient beam dump shield has been designed using Monte Carlo 
      simulation code FLUKA to facilitate low background measurement of neutron and 
      gamma rays using K130 cyclotron at Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata 
      (VECC). Iron, lead and high density Polyethylene (HDPE) were considered in the 
      design of the beam dump shield. Representative FLUKA simulation results have been 
      validated using in-beam experiment performed on the same beam dump constituents. 
      Experimental neutron and gamma-rays energy spectra have been found to be in fair 
      agreement with the simulation results. Activation of various beam dump shield 
      components were also carried out.
