  1. Tunnel Access During Powering Tests Hugues Thiesen, AB-PO Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  2. QRL Tunnel IT ML ARC MR RR PM LHC surface access UA PM LHC surface access Machine Access Machine Access Sector layout • Sector layout Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  3. Hazards in the tunnel • Different Hazards • Radiation • Beam • RF system • Electricity • PCs • QHPSs • Instrumentation • DFBs and theirs proximity equipments • Cryo magnets • Cryogenic • DFBs • Cryo magnets • QRL Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  4. Radiation Hazards • Radiation risks • Irradiation (beam or RF system) • Alpha, beta, etc.. • Depend only of the area status, not of the powering tests • RB injection current is 760A (< 1kA) • Access • No access when the sector is closed • Control of the access • LHC access system (Doors and EIS) NO ACCESS IN THE AREA WHEN IT IS CLOSED Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  5. Electrical Hazards • Electrical risks • Electrocution or burn • By touching a metallic part (active or not active) • By an electrical arc (initiated by a metallic tool) • Do not depend of the current but only of the conformity of the equipments • At 350A the output voltage of the RB could be 160V The electrical risks DO NOT depend on the current but only of the electrical conformity of the equipments Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  6. Electrical Hazards • Electrical risks • The electrical equipments have to be conform at the 15-100 standard (code C1) • Metallic parts have to be correctly grounded (DFB, cryo magnets, etc..) • Active parts have to be protected again direct contacts (IP2X) Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  7. Electrical Hazards • Electrical risks • Electrical inspection realized by AT/AS3 (Guy Salomon) • The group/department must request the inspection after the installation and before the powering tests • The group/department is responsible of the conformity of its equipments Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  8. Electrical Hazards • If the equipments are not conform? • Grounding • Always mandatory • Electrical Protection IP2X • Fencing + flashing lights • B0V/H0V Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  9. Cryogenic Hazards • Cryogenic risks • Asphyxia • Opening of the safety valve • Rupture of a cryogenic pipe • Cold burn • Opening of the safety valve • Rupture of a cryogenic pipe • Explosion • Rupture of a cryogenic pipe • Cryogenic risks vs Powering tests • No powering tests • Access in the tunnel is restricted when the cool down is finished(see Serge Claudet presentation “Safety during HC” 18 October 2007) • Powering tests • Risk of quench -> opening of the safety valve and/or rupture of the cryogenic pipe (depend on the current in the circuit) Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  10. Cryogenic Hazards • Powering tests of the corrector magnets (60A to 600A circuits) • The energy stored in the magnet is not enough to created additional risks (has to be confirmed by MPP and AT-ACR) • Access in the tunnel is restricted • Powering tests of the main magnets (MB, MQ, IPD, IPQ and IT) • The magnets do not quench below 1 kA (has to be confirmed by MPP) • Access in the tunnel is restricted if the current is below 1kA • above 1 kA ? Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  11. Cryogenic Hazards • Powering tests of the main magnets above 1kA • Limited asphyxia risk beyond 2 m (has to be confirmed by MPP/AT-ACR) • Limited Cold burn risk beyond 2 m (has to be confirmed by MPP/AT-ACR) • Limited explosion risk beyond the half sector (has to be confirmed by MPP/AT-ACR) Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  12. QRL IT ML ARC MR RR PM LHC surface access UA PM LHC surface access Machine Access Machine Access Cryogenic Hazards • Powering tests of the main magnets above 1kA • IPD.L, IPQ.L (arc magnets included) or IT.L => no access in the left part of the sector (C1L to C34L) • IPD.R, IPQ.R (arc magnets included) or IT.R => no access in the left part of the sector (C1R to C34R) • MB, MQD or MQF => no access in the tunnel Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  13. Conclusion • Hazards in the tunnel • Radiation hazards • Do not depend of the powering tests but only of the area status • Risks managed by the access system • Access is forbidden when the machine is closed • Electrical hazards • Do not depend on the current level • The electrical equipments in the tunnel have to be conform at the 15-100 standard (grounding, direct contacts protection, etc…) • If the equipments are not IP2X, compensatory measures have to put in place • Fencing + flashing light or electrical screen • Habilitation B0V/H0V • Access is restricted access Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008

  14. Conclusion • Hazards in the tunnel • Cryogenic hazards (< 1kA) • No additional risks if the current is less than 1kA • Restricted Access • Cryogenic hazards (> 1kA) • Forbidden Access • IPD.L, IPQ.L (arc magnets included) or IT.L => not access in the left part. • IPD.R, IPQ.R (arc magnets included) or IT.R => not access in the left part. • MB, MQD or MQF => not access in the tunnel • Have to be confirmed by AT • General conditions • Access must be ONLY given by the CCC for the tests team Review of Sector 45 - 28th of February 2008
