Dear Yang Tao,
  sure that in a shielding problem you have to study also the secondaries...
no doubt about it (in some cases you can conclude that it's enough to
optimize the shielding only for the primary radiation, but this depends on
the problem and on the requirements you have).
The point here is that if you want to check your simulation with the tables
of the mass attenuation coefficients (which represent the photon interaction
probability, and then describe the attenuation of primary photons), then
you have to consider the primaries in the scoring, as pointed out by
Mikhail.
Best,
Anna
