SAFETY REQUIREMENTS DESIR building + beam lines to DESIR : green zones on and off operation -> controlled accesses -> activity confinement and monitoring (external exposure dose rate + inhalation risks) -> limited impact on the environment -> impact evaluation prior to experiments -> technical solutions to limit the risks

The Dose rate issue (DeD) working area: DeD < 7.5 µSv/h < 2 mSv/year/worker temporary working area (< 10 min): DeD < 100 µSv/h RFQ – HRS: very high activities RIB from S1: (10 8 pps 19 Ne) -> definitely an issue but: short lifetime and temporary shielding can be mounted (30 cm air + 30 cm concrete) RIB from S2: can be an issue if long-lived and produced at high yields + contaminants RIB from S3: I < 10 6 pps, N~Z nuclei : can be an issue depending on the selectivity,  emitters

Accidental activity release (inhalation risks) Example of 131 I: T 1/2 = 8.02 d LPCA = 400 Bq/m 3 assuming a 100 % release at room temperature -> Considering a release volume of 10*10*5 m 3 = 500 m 3, A( 131 I) MAX = 2.E+05 Bq i.e. A( 131 I) MAX = 2.4E+06 pps for 1 day of implantation For any RIB presenting inhalation risks: induced LPCA in Bq/m 3 associated with a dose limitation (20 mSv for 2000 h and 1.2 m 3 /h inhalation) DESIR safety requirement : released activity cooling to be considered)

Technical solutions  External dose rate exposure: local shielding + DeD monitoring  Activity confinement: vacuum + specific dismounting procedures  Limited impact on the environment: low depression + limited amount of activity < 100 MBq (activity inventory)  “On-line” beam monitoring before the DESIR building: dedicated DeD monitoring station + beam stopper

Beam intensity limitations  pepperpots  selectivity (ionization process + mass separation) -> both need to be controlled

Next steps  DESIR safety report (including technical solutions) to be produced by the end of 2009  Impact evaluation taking into account realistic ionization efficiencies, mass separation resolutions and release fractions -> what are the RIBs of interest?
