RAMSES Project Mandate / Scope

RAMSES Project Technical AspectsDPerrin RSOC September 17, 2003 RAMSES Project Major functions  Monitoring radiation variables (real-time) Measurement of dose rates during LHC operation around the accelerator, in experimental areas and their annexes, on the surface and in the environment (prompt radiation) Measurement of radioactivity in released gases and fluids (radioactive nuclides) Measurement of induced activity during LHC stop/shutdown  Generation of local radiation alarms and transmission of remote alarms  Generation of interlocks  Long term data storage Measured values Events (radiation alarms, technical alarms, system faults, etc) System configuration

RAMSES Project Technical AspectsDPerrin RSOC September 17, 2003 RAMSES Project Major requirements and constraints  LHC design (strong dependency)  Distributed Radiation Monitoring network  Flexible and modular design for easy configuration  Integrated software infrastructure (control rooms and networks)  Operational 24/24 hours a day, 365/365 days per year  Industrial components State-of-the-art radiation monitors and monitoring stations.  International standards for radiation protection instrumentation  Valid for the replacement of the current radiation monitoring system (ARCON)

RAMSES Project Technical AspectsDPerrin RSOC September 17, 2003 RAMSES Project Mandate / Scope The radiological safety of the LHC will be ensured by the on- line measurement from about 350 radiations monitors of 15 different types spread over the 8 access points, both surface and underground installations. Radiation monitors The choice and position of the radiation monitors depend on: - Quantities to detect; - LHC Design (strong dependency); - Monte-Carlo simulations; - Extensive professional experience in RP;
