Silari, CERN Note 088/ TIS-RP/TM/2001-028 A shield designed for a continous beam loss of 10 -4 m -1 (point loss of 6.25*10 9 ion s -1 ) during the routine operation is also adequate for an accident loss of the full beam at a localised point, providing that the linac cutoff time is less than 1s. A full beam loss at a localised point must not give rise to a H*(10) > 100 mSv/h outside the shielding and the beam has to be swithed off within a time short enough that the H*(10) from this accident condition remains negligible.

21 CEA Saclay, 30.01. 200920  The proposed thicknesses of the shielding guarantee an integrated dose bellow the acceptable limit with sufficient margin both at normal operation and accidental situations assuming that the beam cut off 1 s is feasible  From the shielding safety point of view, SIL#2 is more advantageous variant since it requires nearly 2 times less of the shielding compared to SIL#1  Placing the LINAC in a designated controlled area (dose below 10 μSv h -1 ) might reduce the total shielding by another factor of 2  A safety operation domain (energy range & beam intensities) has to be established to account for other ion species.

24 CEA Saclay, 30.01. 200923  Residual activation field inside the tunnel are arising mainly from copper structure activation in the high energy zone of the accelerator, while in the accelerator low energy zone the ion implantation is the most significant contributor ;  In the high energy zone of the LINAC continuous accessibility inside the tunnel in the beam-off stage is possible only after five days cooling time. However, if the intervention is required earlier, an occupancy factor of minimum 570 hours/year allows to meet the constraint of 20 mSv y -1 ;  Contact dose rate values significantly higher than the limits show that a remote handling for the dismantling of certain components is necessary. The accelerator structure in the high energy zone even after one month cooling time would contribute to the contact dose higher than 1 mSv h -1 ;  Definition of the intervention procedure is required. To protect the personnel during the handling operations the access and transportation paths should be set-up and a hot cell might be necessary to be included in the facility lay-out;  The air activation results may be used to derive the air change rate inside the tunnel and released source term required for further assessment of the airborne radionuclide environmental impact.

26 CEA Saclay, 30.01. 200925  Analysis of the possibilities to reduce the shield thicknesses in compliance with ALARA principle has to be done;  Maintenance operations inside the tunnel have to be planned;  A ventilation system in the tunnel might be necessary;  Several equipments and material should to be disposed of as radioactive wastes;  Shielding design is adequate from the point of view of the environmental impact
