| Summary: | 6 mR/hr in the 100 MeV section near the quadrupoles at a 25 accelerator design. This research focused on the 20 and 100 Accelerator. The peak dose rate was found to be approximately activation, a methodology was utilized that coupled transport and depletion codes to obtain dose rate estimates at several and the worst component was the beam pipe, which consists calculations, simplified computer models were developed from cm radius for an assumed beam loss of 1 nA/m. This peak design is still not finalized. designed, the amount of activation of the accelerator detailed engineering drawings of a typical high-power dominated by the proton interactions and subsequent feasibility of hands-on maintenace can be determined, as the For the new, high-power accelerators currently being locations near the accelerator. To perform these MeV sections of the Bridge-Coupled Drift Tube Linear mostly of iron. No definitive conclusions about the occurs after the longest irradiation time (one year) and the shortest subsequent decay time (ten seconds) considered for spallation product generation, as opposed to the presence of spallation products created by proton bombardment of iron, structure has become an important issue. To quantify this the generated neutrons. The worst contributors were the this research. It was determined that the activation was |
