13. Radiological Status and Trends of Injectors & Experimental Facilities

Simone Gilardoni

11/02/2010, 09:00

The status of the beam loss studies on in the injectors is presented, in particular reviewing the first full year of CNGS operation. A number of issues which appeared during the run, like for example the high radiation levels observed in the Linac3 building and the expected and feared increaseof machine irradiation, will be discussed in detail. The presentation will also focus on possible...

14. Monitoring Systems for Radiation Protection

Daniel Perrin

11/02/2010, 09:30

The levels of ionising radiation around CERN facilities are currently monitored by two systems, ARCON (conceived for the LEP) and RAMSES the state of the art system for the LHC, CNGS and CTF3. Needs of monitoring systems for radiation protection evolve with CERN activities. The talk will present the strategy chosen to replace ARCON with RAMSES and will put the accent on availability,...

15. Radiation Protection during design, operation and dismantling of Target Areas

Thomas Otto

11/02/2010, 10:00

At CERN, various production targets for secondary beams of particles or of atomic ions are in operation. The forced interactions of the primary beam with the target causes a higher degree of activation of the target system, of the surrounding structures and soil and of the air ventilating the area. The activation and the related ambient dose rate must be taken into account during maintenance,...

16. Workplaces in Radiation Areas

Heinz Vincke (Unknown)

11/02/2010, 11:00

An up-date on CERN’s radiation protection rules and procedures and their impact on accelerator operation and maintenance will be discussed. The radiological risks at representative workplaces in CERN’s radiation areas and examples of adequate maintenance scenarios will be presented. Examples for the ALARA approach in general as well as for optimized design and handling in particular will be given.

17. Quality Assurance applied to Accelerator Safety

Magali Gruwe

11/02/2010, 11:30

The aim of Quality Assurance is to provide all stakeholders with the possibility to acquire the confidence that a given process or product meets a set of expected characteristics. Quality Assurance applied to accelerator Safety requires the identification of the expected safety characteristics, as well as the identification of Safety stakeholders with their respective roles. Quality...
