  1. RAMSES Project Status report - Technical aspects Presented by D. Perrin (TIS/RP) on behalf of the RAMSES team (ST/MA, TIS/IE & TIS/RP) DPerrin RSOC September 17, 2003

  2. RAMSES Project Mandate / Scope • The RAMSES will provide LHC, and finally CERN, with an integrated RAdiation Monitoring System for the Environment and Safety covering acquisition, transmission, logging and display for the LHC machine, LHC experiments and experimental areas. • TIS will exploit this system to assess radiation risks and to control the release of radioactivity. • The system will also be incorporated into the accelerator and experiment control rooms. • The mandate of the project team covers the system specification, prototyping, tendering, installation and integration of radiation monitors and industrial control equipment for safety systems. DPerrin RSOC September 17, 2003

  3. RAMSES Project Major functions • Monitoring radiation variables (real-time) • Measurement of dose rates during LHC operation around the accelerator, in experimental areas and their annexes, on the surface and in the environment (prompt radiation) • Measurement of radioactivity in released gases and fluids (radioactive nuclides) • Measurement of induced activity during LHC stop/shutdown • Generation of local radiation alarms and transmission of remote alarms • Generation of interlocks • Long term data storage • Measured values • Events (radiation alarms, technical alarms, system faults, etc) • System configuration DPerrin RSOC September 17, 2003

  4. RAMSES Project Major requirements and constraints • LHC design (strong dependency) • Distributed Radiation Monitoring network • Flexible and modular design for easy configuration • Integrated software infrastructure (control rooms and networks) • Operational 24/24 hours a day, 365/365 days per year • Industrial components • State-of-the-art radiation monitors and monitoring stations. • International standards for radiation protection instrumentation • Valid for the replacement of the current radiation monitoring system (ARCON) DPerrin RSOC September 17, 2003

  5. The choice and position of the radiation monitors depend on: - Quantities to detect; - LHC Design (strong dependency); - Monte-Carlo simulations; - Extensive professional experience in RP; RAMSES Project Mandate / Scope Radiation monitors The radiological safety of the LHC will be ensured by the on-line measurement from about350 radiations monitors of 15 different types spread over the 8 access points, both surface and underground installations.
