A review and update on the status of the Cyclotron Physics Laboratory at the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy as well as related research activity is presented. The main part of the research activities at the Cyclotron Physics Laboratory is directed to simulations for design considerations, for the cyclotron vault for some of the target radioisotopes. In this paper, a review on the simulations, conducted at the laboratory, related to 18F production is included. A model for studying the effect of attenuation and absorption of neutron radiation, emitted by a point source with fixed energy of 14.1 MeV is developed. Preliminary results from this study are shown.
