  1. Summary of Shielding Calculationsfor NSLS2 Accelerators P.K. Job Radiation Physicist Peer Review 2007 March 28 2007

  2. Outline • Bulk Shielding Policy • Calculational Tools and Procedures • Beam Loss Assumptions • Linac Shielding Design • Storage Ring and Booster Shielding • Electron Beam Stops • Supplemental Shielding in the Storage Ring

  3. Desired Shielding Outcome • Compliance with DOE Orders, Part 835, and BNL Administrative Controls • < 25 mRem/year on-site to non-NSLS-II personnel; < 5 mrem/year at site boundary • Radiation exposure to users and staff ALARA – an administrative control level of 100 mRem/year is desired • We plan to achieve this through shielding and engineering & supplemental administrative controls • Based on current experience, we expect annual radiation exposures < < 100 mRem/year to NSLS staff and users

  4. Shielding Policy • Accelerator enclosures & hutches shielded to 0.25 mrem/hr, 500 mRem/year based on 2000 hours of exposure per year at the exterior of the shield (< 0.5 mrem/h on contact) • Hutches are being considered further for 0.05 mRem/hr • They potentially represent a more significant source of exposure • Personnel more likely to be in vicinity of hutches

  5. Shielding Policy (cont.) • Calculations use conservative shielding criteria and source terms • Abnormal operating conditions, including Maximum Credible Incidents (MCI), are evaluated • Additional engineering or administrative controls are specified based on severity of radiation levels under fault conditions. • Shielding and controls are considered adequate if MCI has low potential for exceeding 100 mRem and can not exceed 2000 mRem

  6. Shielding Policy (cont.) Engineering control options include: • Additional shielding (e.g. shadow shields, localized shields) • Beam loss monitors with alarm in control room and (perhaps) interlock function • Area radiation monitors at the occupied areas with alarm locally and in control room and interlock function

  7. Shielding Policy (cont.) Supplemental Administrative control options include: • Operational procedures for operators and ESH staff during injection and routine operations • Survey and posting procedures • Commissioning and shielding verification procedures • Shielding configuration control • Review of accelerator and beam design modifications • Passive area monitors

  8. Radiation Sources Consideredfor calculations • Bremsstrahlung (High Energy Photons) • Bremsstrahlung produced Neutrons • Synchrotron Radiation (Low Energy x-rays)

  9. Calculational Tools and Procedures • Semi-empirical Methods (Swanson, Shield11) • Analytical Methods (PHOTON, STAC8) • Monte Carlo Methods (EGS4)

  10. LINAC Shielding LINAC Parameters used in Shielding Calculations • Beam energy 200 MeV • Beam current 20 nA • Bunch Pattern 500 pC/ 40 bunches • Frequency 1 Hz • Tunnel Length 60 meters • Tunnel width x height 4 x 3 m2 • Position of beam from floor 1 m • Power 4 watts

  11. LINAC Shielding(Beamloss Assumptions)

  12. LINAC Bulk Shielding Estimates

  13. LINAC- Maximum Credible Radiation Incidents • 100 % of maximum accelerated beam is lost at some location in the linac enclosure, (20 nC/s is continuously lost) Dose Rate = 37.5 mrem/h (at the exterior of shield on contact) • 100 %injected beam to the booster is continuously lost at the linac-booster injection septum at 1 Hz. Dose rates at the exterior of the floor wall will be; Dose Rate = 15 mrem/h Mitigation/ control to prevent significant exposure • Area Radiation Monitors with beam shut off capability • Beam current monitors in the LINAC • Additional supplementary shielding at the septum/stop (lead/poly) • Operating procedures for operators during injection

  14. Booster Parameters used in Shielding Calculations • Beam Energy 3.5 GeV • Repetition Rate 1 Hz • Accelerated Charge 15 nC • No of Electrons per Fill 9.36 × 1010 • Total Energy in the Booster 52.5 Joules • Interval Between Booster injections 72 sec (Normal operating mode)

  15. Storage Ring Parameters usedin Shielding Calculations • Beam energy 3.5 GeV • Beam current 500 mA • Beam Life Time 2 hours • Tunnel Circumference 780 meters • Stored Charge 1.3 μC • Stored Electrons 8.1 × 1012 • Stored Energy 4540 Joules • Interval between booster injections 72 Seconds (14 nC is lost in the Storage Ring in every minute)

  23. Storage Ring (Credible Radiation Incidents) • 100 % injected beam from the booster to storage ring is lost at any location in the storage ring (15 nC/s is continuously lost at some location other than injection region) Dose Rate = 277 mrem/h (at the exterior of the experimental floor wall on contact) • 100 % injected beam from the booster to storage ring is lost at any beamline front end due the shorting of a bending magnet (15 nC/s is continuously lost at a front end component) Dose Rate = 412 mrem/h (at the exterior of the ratchet wall ~ 0.5 m from the FE) (peak bremsstrahlung shielded with shadow shields) Mitigation/controls to prevent significant exposure • Area Radiation Monitors with beam shut off capability • Beam loss monitors inside the Storage Ring • Additional Supplementary Shielding (Shadow Shields) • Operating procedures for operators defining actions during injection
