38. Activation Levels, Handling, Storage, and Transport of Activated Components in the Target Hall at FRIB

Dr Mikhail Kostin (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams)

23/05/2017, 17:30

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) project is under construction at Michigan State University. 400 kW beam operations with heavy ions ranging from oxygen to uranium will create a high radiation environment for many components, particularly for the beam line elements located in the Target Hall, where approximately 100 kW of beam power are lost in the target and another 300 kW are...

27. Lead activation and clearance measurement protocol in Accelerator Facilities

Dr James Liu (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)

23/05/2017, 17:50

Clearance protocols to recycle common metals such as aluminum and iron from accelerator facilities were developed at SLAC and incorporated into the U.S. DOE Standard DOE-STD-6004-2016 “Clearance and Release of Personal Property from Accelerator Facilities”. The technical basis includes key concepts such as proxy radioisotopes and measurement protocols with sufficient detection capabilities to...

14. Evaluation of induced activity and assessment of in-situ clearance procedures for MedAustron ion therapy accelerator components

Mr Christoph Weixelbaumer (EBG MedAustron GmbH)

23/05/2017, 18:10

MedAustron is a synchrotron based ion therapy and research center in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. The facility provides protons up to 250 MeV kinetic energy and carbon ions up to 400 MeV/n for clinical use. Furthermore protons up to 800 MeV will be available in a room dedicated to non-clinical research.
When operating the accelerator components and adjacent material become radioactive...
