  23. Operation of GANIL/SPIRAL1/SPIRAL2 Standard planning; one production cave DESIR: 29 weeks of RIB/year: 10 weeks of RIB from SPIRAL2, 4 weeks from S3, 15 weeks from SPIRAL1

  24. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS DESIR building + beam lines to DESIR : green zones on and off operation -> controlled accesses -> activity confinement and monitoring (external exposure dose rate + inhalation risks) -> limited impact on the environment -> impact evaluation prior to experiments -> technical solutions to limit the risks

  25. The Dose rate issue (DeD) • working area: DeD < 7.5 µSv/h < 2 mSv/year/worker • temporary working area (< 10 min): DeD < 100 µSv/h • RFQ – HRS: very high activities • RIB from S1: (108 pps 19Ne) -> definitely an issue but: short lifetime and temporary shielding can be mounted (30 cm air + 30 cm concrete) • RIB from S2: can be an issue if long-lived and produced at high yields + contaminants • RIB from S3: I < 106 pps, N~Z nuclei : can be an issue depending on the selectivity, • a emitters

  26. Accidental activity release (inhalation risks) • For any RIB presenting inhalation risks: induced LPCA in Bq/m3 associated with a dose limitation (20 mSv for 2000 h and 1.2 m3/h inhalation) • DESIR safety requirement : released activity < 1 LPCA (at any time -> cooling to be considered) Example of 131I: T1/2 = 8.02 d LPCA = 400 Bq/m3 assuming a 100 % release at room temperature -> Considering a release volume of 10*10*5 m3= 500 m3, A(131I)MAX = 2.E+05 Bq i.e.A(131I)MAX =2.4E+06 pps for 1 day of implantation

  27. 132Sn only In target yield (1014 f/s) 7.7 1011 to 7.9 1011 Beam intensity limitation ~105

  28. Simulation of a laser spectroscopy experiment: 6 runs* 1 day on 132-137Sn, delivered as pure beams

  29. Without isotopic separation: 132Sn case stable

  30. V = 500 m3 No isotopic separation Beam IMAX (pps) for 1 LPCA 132Sn 5.E+04 133Sn 1.E+04 134Sn 1.E+04 135Sn 3.E+03 136Sn 5.E+03 137Sn 1.E+04 Simulation of a laser spectroscopy experiment: 6 runs * 1 day on 132-137Sn, without isotopic separation

  31. Technical solutions • External dose rate exposure: local shielding + DeD monitoring • Activity confinement: vacuum + specific dismounting procedures • Limited impact on the environment: low depression + limited amount of activity < 100 MBq (activity inventory) • “On-line” beam monitoring before the DESIR building: dedicated DeD monitoring station + beam stopper

  32. pepperpots • selectivity (ionization process + mass separation) -> both need to be controlled Beam intensity limitations

  33. Next steps • DESIR safety report (including technical solutions) to be produced by the end of 2009 • Impact evaluation taking into account realistic ionization efficiencies, mass separation resolutions and release fractions -> what are the RIBs of interest?

  34. SPIRAL2 Schedule Phase I Phase II

  35. Next steps...... • RFQ: on-going tests, study of “nuclearisation”, study of final version of RFQ • HRS: detailed optical study of new ALPHA version, detailed mechanical study • beam lines: preliminary design, cost estimate, detailed design study • stable ion sources: definition, purchase • GPIB: study and construction • Identification station: preliminary design, detailed design, construction • DESIR building: like SPIRAL2 Phase 2 construction program…. • decision about construction at latest mid 2010 • Safety schemes • ……
