Abstract	A model of the momentum cleaning section was set up for use with the cascade simulation program MARS. This has been used to determine parameters for shielding design. Two possible variants have been considered in detail. The criteria of an optimised shield for the momentum cleaning insertion of the LHC are discussed.
