BE Seminar
JOINT AB and LHC Seminar: LHC operation and safety

Description
With its extraordinary discovery potential, the CERN-LHC will be the most important tool for the world-wide community of particle physicists for the years to come. Safe exploitation of the LHC with the unprecedented amount of energy stored in magnet system and beams will be very challenging and requires novel approaches in machine protection. In case of a major accident, repair of equipment could be lengthy, the machine might even be damaged to an extent that repair becomes uncertain.
For CERN, it is the first time that operation is strongly coupled to equipment safety. In other organizations, basic safety concepts, performance criteria and safety goals as well as elements of safety culture (*) are being widely discussed and implemented, such as the nuclear industry.
This seminar will address some key issues in these areas, and will examine how CERN could benefit from such concepts.
(*) Definition of safety culture for nuclear plants: the assembly of characteristics and attitudes in organizations and individuals which establishes that, as an overriding priority, nuclear plant safety issues receive the attention warranted by their significance.
Organiser(s): Werner Herr (AB/ABP)
