  1. 2009 DOE Accelerator Safety Workshop NSLS Experiment ESH ReviewAugust 18, 2009A. Ackerman

  2. National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS)Structure 65 Beam lines NSLS PRT Schedule Operations; 44 wk/yr; 24/7 Studies Maintenance; 2 d/month; 2 extended 2200 scientist User community Staff 155 Facility 75 beam line (non-BNL) 1500 experiments/yr >900 publications/yr • ‘Small Science’ experiment • Often 1 – 3 experimenters • Beam time 2 – 6 days • Many experiments routine • Limited sample prep; mg’s

  3. NSLS Experiment ESH ReviewThe Process Managed by ESH&Q with Operations support Experiment Review Coordinators (ERC) 2 people; 1 back up Electronic submission (1 week advance – routine) Lead Experimenter assigned ESH review: ESH staff, Local Contact & User discussion Approved; Approved requires notification; ERC review required User arrives Contact Operations Coordinator (Op Co) Op Co prints approved form; enables the beam line (Authorization to start) Contact Experiment Review Coordinator (if requested) Review and post form Beam line safety checklist (configuration control) Check User training Confirm Lead Experimenter Experiment begins

  4. NSLS Experiment ESH ReviewThe Form Materials (qty; return; store; barcode) Equipment Tasks; Risks; Contingency plan Waste Specific questions Human materials / animals (ethics) Virus, toxin, select agent, viable Radioactives Laser Wet chem Haz waste Magnets (stray field) Non-NRTL electrical Nano Reactive (peroxide, explosive, pyrophoric …) Cryogens Collect and Provide Information

  5. NSLS Experiment ESH ReviewStandard MX • 8 Questions • Viable or infetious • Bio-toxin • Human tissue or body material • Viable recombinant DNA / RNA • Freeze propane from gas source • Other than ‘Dry shipper’ • Heavy metal soak at NSLS • Any other safety issue ALL No = Standard Experiment Envelope

  6. NSLS Experiment ESH ReviewExtended Review Extended Reviews More discussion; written plans Ad Hoc Committee 2006: The Gas Gun 2007: NH3 2008: Powder gun; Pu

  7. User Training Efficient; user specific 3 parts; ~1.5 hrs BNL General Employee Radiological Training (web) NSLS User Safety (web) Beam Line Operational Safety Awareness (BLOSA) (hands on at beam line; local contact) NSLS User Safety (8 sections) Introduction (objectives ESH policy; directions) Radiation (posting, dosimetry, shielding, interlocks, materials) Electrical (posting, breakers, LOTO, tags, cables) Chemicals & wastes (labeling, storage, disposal) Other (Be, cryo, laser; magnets, compressed gas) Facility and beamline (SAF’s, BLOSA, vacuum, unattended ops, stop work) Emergencies (fire, evacuation, reporting) Policy (ID badges, traffic, security, Lyme, housekeeping, Op Co)
