Projects at CERN cover the full spectrum of the Organization’s activities, from examples of relatively simple office renovations through to complex accelerator upgrades and experimental installations. The Occupational Health & Safety and Environmental Protection Unit of CERN follows the majority of these projects through its Projects and Experiment Safety Support (PESS) activity, which for...
The Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is a superconducting stellarator at IPP in Greifswald, which went into operation in 2015. The aim of W7-X is to demonstrate the fusion reactor relevance of the numerically optimized stellarator. It has been designed for performing high-energy plasma discharges in the range of some seconds up to 30 minutes in a steady state operation mode. The plasma is heated mostly...
CERN as an intergovernmental organisation establishes its own safety rules as required for its proper functioning. In the domain of pressure equipment, including for cryogenic service, the baseline approach within the CERN Safety Rules is full conformity with the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), including the appropriate involvement of a notified body, together with CE...
Building 245 at CERN is foreseen that will house the new Main Power Supply of the Proton Synchroton Booster (PSB) accelerator ring, in the frame of the 2 GeV energy increase requested by the Large Hadron Collider Injectors Upgrade (LIU) program.
This building is made of two parts: converter hall (two storey steel structure) and technical building (two storey concrete structure). Different...
Every facility has them: older structures containing former world-class experiments and machines, decommissioned years ago. If it comes to a project that wants to reuse those old structures for modern research often there are a lot of changes necessary to meet the current safety standards. Especially in the last three decades lots of laws and regulations experienced massive changes to improve...
The photon-science facilities at PETRA III, the world’s largest storage ring, cover approximately one quarter of the synchrotron’s total length of 2300m in 5 different buildings. Over the years, we have planned and built several chemical laboratories to support the growing user community of about 4000 user visits per year. Today, we operate a total of 7 chemistry laboratories for external and...
