Update: 

From JS email to Andrea Boccardi: Annual radiation dose to BI equipment that could be affected by the secondary radiation coming from a BGV installed in LSSR4 between Q5 and Q6 (at +142.5 m/IP). Additional irradiation of:

 

BPLX at ~148 m/IP

BCTDC at ~153 m/IP

BCTFR at ~156 m/IP

BPLH at ~163 m/IP

BGSH/V at ~173 m/IP

BPH/V at ~177 m/OP

 

Our question : Can they indicate the location of radiation sensitive equipment that should be studied?

 

AB: electronics in the mentioned area is in the alcoves, and therefore we do not have any active parts that could be affected by the BGV. The only elements that would be irradiated are the adaptors filters on the BPM itself, but those are passive, and if the level of radiation is so high to be a concern for them, we should also consider evaluating the cables.

 

Q: Total Ionising Dose per year of order 100 Gy per year a problem? 

 

AB: The level start to be relatively high, but 1kGy over 10 years should still be ok.

There is a table from R2E mentioning at which levels different type of electronics need to be tested for radiation tolerance.
