25. Air activation studies from dark current emitted at Super Conducting Radio Frequency Cavities

Dr Mario Santana Leitner (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)

Uncontained radiation showers and stray radiation at particle accelerators interact with the air volume surrounding the beam-line, leading to the generation of a broad variety of radio-isotopes, some of which have sufficiently long half-lives to either potentially reach the public after the release of air to the atmosphere or to be present in substantial amounts in the accelerator building...

65. Radiation challenges of primary cooling return water at the ESS

Esben Klinkby (DTU)

At ESS it is necessary to operate water loops for the thermal moderators and for the cooling of the beryllium- and the steel reflectors. The water in each of these components is exposed to a very high level of radiation. This cause the water and impurities therein to be activated and in this work the measures for safe handling of the return water are investigated. Immediately after...
