Accident scenarios for MTA beam line Igor Rakhno June 8, 2007

The scenarios Several spatial locations were examined: –beam pipe 5 m US the 12-ft sh.block; –beam pipe 2.5m US the 12-ft sh.block; –beam stop itself; –beam pipe inside the 12-ft sh.block, ≈ under the penetrations; –quad 5 m DS the 12-ft sh.block The beam stop in all the cases is in upper position (beam pipe is clear). Two penetrations are in the model: coax and rectangular (modeled as circular). 2

Penetrations: plan elevation of X=370 cm 5

Calculated dose in the X=370 cm Location Dose (mrem/pulse) Beam pipe 5 m US the 12-ft sh.block 1 Beam pipe 2.5m US the 12-ft sh.block 1 Beam stop itself 1 Beam pipe inside the 12-ft sh.block 25 Quad 5 m DS the 12-ft sh.block 240 There is no cross-talk between the penetrations, so that we have two spots 240 mrem/pulse each, not one spot 480 mrem/pulse. 6
