Engineered and Administrative Safety Systems for the Control of Prompt Radiation Hazards at Accelerator Facilities

摘要

The ANSI N43.1 Standard, currently in revision (ANSI 2007), sets forth the requirements for accelerator facilities to provide adequate protection for the workers, the public and the environment from the hazards of ionizing radiation produced during and from accelerator operations. The Standard also recommends good practices that, when followed, provide a level of radiation protection consistent with those established for the accelerator communities. The N43.1 Standard is suitable for all accelerator facilities (using electron, positron, proton, or ion particle beams) capable of producing radiation, subject to federal or state regulations. The requirements (see word shall) and recommended practices (see word should) are prescribed in a graded approach that are commensurate with the complexity and hazard levels of the accelerator facility.
