Radiation Protection for Particle Accelerator Facilities by National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements Pdf

The purpose of this Report is to provide design guidelines for radiation protection, and to identify those aspects of radiological safety that are of major, or even unique, importance to the operation of particle accelerator installations and to suggest methods by which safe operation may be achieved. The report is written from an engineering physics viewpoint and is intended to be useful to those engaged in the design and operation of accelerators, particularly in smaller institutions and organizations that do not have a large radiological-protection staff.

Radiation Protection Design Guidelines for 0.1-100 MeV Particle Accelerator Facilities by National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements Pdf

"This report of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) is concerned with radiations produced by accelerators of charged particles having energies from 9.1 to 100 MeV. The material in this report includes recommendations concerning structural shielding and details of accelerator-facility design as they pertain to radiation protection. The scientific committee responsible for the preparation of this report was charged with preparing a guide to good practice in radiation protection for all types of particle accelerators, taking into full consideration their broad application in research, medicine, and industry. In carrying out this objective, the committee has endeavored to organize into a single report the recommendations and guidelines for the many accelerator designs, performance ratings, and applications, without resorting to over-generalization or undue conservatism. There is some overlap of this report with the coverage of other NCRP reports, but an attempt has been made to limit duplication of material except where it is justified for the sake of continuity, or because of the need to complement the coverage of the following existing NCRP reports, or to update their information and recommendations: NCRP Report Nos. 14 (1954a); 31 (1964b); 34 (1970a), which was superseded by NCRP Report No. 49 (1976); 38 (1971a)." --From the Preface, page iii.

Safety for Particle Accelerators by Thomas Otto Pdf

The use of non-standard technologies such as superconductivity, cryogenics and radiofrequency pose challenges for the safe operation of accelerator facilities that cannot be addressed using only best practice from occupational safety in conventional industry. This book introduces readers to different occupational safety issues at accelerator facilities and is directed to managers, scientists, technical personnel and students working at current or future accelerator facilities. While the focus is on occupational safety – how to protect the people working at these facilities – the book also touches on “machine safety” – how to prevent accelerators from doing structural damage to themselves. This open access book offers a first introduction to safety at accelerator facilities. Presenting an overview of the safety-related aspects of the specific technologies employed in particle accelerators, it highlights the potential hazards at such facilities and current prevention and protection measures. It closes with a review of safety management and organization at accelerator facilities.

Radiation Safety of Accelerator Based Radioisotope Production Facilities by IAEA Pdf

Radioisotopes are used worldwide in a range of medical, industrial, research and academic applications. A large proportion of these radioisotopes are produced in particle accelerators, and the number of institutions that operate linear accelerators or cyclotrons and manufacture and distribute radiopharmaceuticals, for example, is significant and increasing. The production of radioisotopes using particle accelerators poses significant radiation hazards to workers, members of the public, and the environment when accelerators are operated without adequate radiation safety measures. This Safety Guide provides practical guidance for implementing radiation protection and safety measures in such facilities involved in the production and use of radioisotopes.

Accelerator and Radiation Physics by P.K Sarkar Pdf

ACCELERATOR AND RADIATION PHYSICS encompasses radiation shielding design and strategies for hadron therapy accelerators, neutron facilities and laser based accelerators. A fascinating article describes detailed transport theory and its application to radiation transport. Detailed information on planning and design of a very high energy proton accelerator can be obtained from the article on radiological safety of J-PARC. Besides safety for proton accelerators, the book provides information on radiological safety issues for electron synchrotron and prevention and preparedness for radiological emergencies. Different methods for neutron dosimetry including LET based monitoring, time of flight spectrometry, track detectors are documented alongwith newly measured experimental data on radiation interaction with dyes, polymers, bones and other materials. Design of deuteron accelerator, shielding in beam line hutches in synchrotron and 14 MeV neutron generator, various radiation detection methods, their characterization, dose mapping procedures and simulation of radiation environment are also discussed.

Stray Radiation Measurements at Particle Accelerator Sites by Leonard R. Solon,James E. McLaughlin,Hanson Blatz Pdf

The stray radiation field from high energy particle accelerators is comprised of several components, e.g., fast and thermal neutrons, x- and gamma rays, proton recoils, and at sufficiently high energies, heavy particle recoils and mesons. In order to determine permissible occupancy times for personnel in this radiation field, a measurement is required both of the intensity and the energy of the different components constituting the spectrum. Then, from biological or clinical experience concerning the relative effectiveness of different radiations in producing deleterious effects, the biological hazard may be inferred. This outlines very briefly the radiation problem with an accelerator in operation.
