TASK DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE

Design Study

Objectives

Due to drastically increased radioactive inventory compared to current worldwide RIB facilities, the following list of objectives has been identified that need research and development:

1. Calculation of radiation production and activation. 2. Methods for shielding against prompt radiation and for the containment of

activity. 3. Handling of targets and in particular the disposal of spent targets.4. Conformity of the proposed installation to the legislation.

The realization of this task is crucial for the Design Study of the new generation RIB facility in order to characterize the radioactive inventory, to identify the technical challenges, to characterize the safety approval procedures, to estimate the impact of safety and radioprotection issues on the final cost of the installation.

target, beam dump, secondary beam lines; - activation estimates of accelerator components, target-converter, RNB production target, beam dump,

separator and ionizer, secondary beam lines, environment (building, air, soil, ground water); - characterization of radio-elements produced with respect to (2); - optimization of shielding against prompt radiation fields and activated structures; - dose rate calculations.2. Radioactivity control, safety & risks - study of dispersion of radio-elements, contamination, migration; - study of safety associated with oxidation of target materials; - study of containment of volatile radioactivity; - safety and risks associated with target preparation, handling, confinements and nuclear ventilation,

flow of radioactive materials, etc.; - prevention and limitation of personnel direct and indirect exposure: risk and failure scenarios; - prevention and limitation of waste production, radioactivity dispersion and rejections. 3. Decommissioning - storage and disposal of spent targets; - characterization of radioactive waste produced; - characterization of activated structures, their volumes, masses, specific activity, radio-elements; - guidelines of the decommissioning and dismantling strategy; - risk estimates.4. Conformity to legislation - study of the licensing and permission procedures; - guidelines on the technical options; - guidelines on implementation and execution conditions; - potential risk and delays estimates.
