Take 5 for Safety

This report summarizes the gas emissions and radiation surveys conducted around the BLIP Collider Accelerator, focusing on safety and environmental impact. Wind tunnel simulations were employed to study the wake effects from nearby buildings, addressing the heat recirculation in cavity zones. Measurements of radiation levels revealed no significant readings above background levels in critical areas, with notable reductions in exposure rates achieved. Recommendations for further improvements include optimizing target modifications, ventilation systems, and stack height adjustments.

  1. 20 Minute C-11, 10 Minute N-13 and 2 Minute O-15 Gas Emissions from BLIP Collider-Accelerator Department 4-13-2010 Take 5 for Safety

  2. Textbook Cone-Shaped Plume

  3. Short Stack and Lower Nearby Buildings – Wind Tunnel Simulation Wake Effect from Building or Cone-shaped Hill Cavity Zone Heat from ground produces recirculation inside the cavity zone

  4. BLIP Building Looking North

  5. Inside BLIP

  6. Looking West From BLIP

  7. Looking South From BLIP

  8. North Side of BLIP Building

  9. North Side of BLIP Building Looking from “NSRL Valley”

  10. MicroR/h on April 6, 6 PM, 20 mm Water Path for Beam, 485 CFM, Routine Medical Production Targets, 117 MeV Beam • Radiation survey was performed at various outdoor locations around the following buildings/facilities: • NSRL, EBIS, HITL, REF, and LINAC • No readings above background were found in these areas • Outside wall of BLIP was 2000 microR/h near cooling water pipe

  11. MicroR/h on April 7, 11 am, BLIP Off

  12. MicroR/h on April 8, 5 AM, South Wind, 65 mm Water Path, 485 CFM, 181 MeV Beam, Simos Targets Plus Normal BLIP Targets

  13. MicroR/h on April 8, 2 PM, South Wind, Reduced Water Path to 50 mm (25%) and Reduced Ventilation to 300 CFM (38%) • BLIP outside wall reduced from 8000 microR/h to 6000 microR/h (25%) • Area exposure rates dropped to 20 to 30 microR/h along the NSRL beam line, and 8 microR/h inside the NSRL building • Factor of 3 ± 1 reduction in NSRL area exposure rates • This met BNL criteria for less than 50 microR/h in uncontrolled areas, and C-AD HP requirement for less than 13 microR/h background to release NSRL targets

  14. MicroR/h on April 10, 2 PM, West Wind, Reduced Water Path to 50 mm and Reduced Ventilation to 300 CFM

  15. MicroR/h on April 12, 12:30 AM, North Wind, 50 mm Water Path, 300 CFM, 181 MeV

  16. Next Steps • Finish FY10 BLIP program with Simos targets and 50 mm or less water path and 300 CFM • Develop system to independently review modifications to BLIP targets and stack • Options: • Increase stack height • Minimize water path to 20 mm or less
