21. Radiation Protection Risk Assessment 21 Main points: Minimise activation  Aluminium construction  Minimise sample size and number Containment:  Double containment  Minimise sample number and size  Experiment chamber sealable after experiment in event of emergency  Online diagnostics: monitor beam alignment, slug condition and pump activity.  Beryllium remains contained in sealed containment boxes throughout presence at CERN.

25. Residual dose rate After 3 months cool down:  Maximum value in the X-Y plane for each Z coordinate  Maximum value: 9.90 μSv/h in the glassy carbon wall after the Be slugs.  Highest value in Be slug: 7.71 μSv/h  Highest value in Al: 3.10 μSv/h around the exit window 25 Activation Study 3 HiRadMat Technical Board Review15/10/2014

26. Residual dose rate  After 1 day the dose from the activation of the containment is the prominent one.  Between 1 week and 6 months the radiation from the Be dominates.  After 1 year the containment again is the bigger contributor. 26 Activation Study 3 HiRadMat Technical Board Review15/10/2014
