A DATABASE ON HEALTH PHYSICS AND RADIOLOGICAL SAFETY OF CYCLOTRONS 10-250 MeV

摘要

Radiological safety is imperative for public acceptance and the safe and economic operation of cyclotrons. Early cyclotron pioneers dating from the late 1930s were aware of this fact. Consequently, numerous experimental and theoretical works on cyclotron health physics were carried out and published in various professional journals and reports. Many contemporary professionals are still involved with the radiation safety of cyclotrons. In order to avoid reinventing the wheel and to disseminate the valuable work of various past and present researchers, a hyperlinked database has been created (NEA-1694 SATIF/CYCLO-RADSAFE). The key words used in this database are the following: (1) low-energy cyclotron (E<20 MeV), (2) medium-energy cyclotron (20 < E < 100 MeV), (3) high-energy cyclotron (E > 100 MeV), (4) shielding material, (5) source term, (6) Monte Carlo (shielding) calculation, (7) deterministic (shielding) calculation, (8) duct and mazes, (9) optimisation technique, (10) skyshine, (11) dosimetry-spectrometry, (12) radioactive effluent, (13) components and shielding activation and (14) waste management.
