1. Dismantling LEP and the Experiments Access to the underground areas, project organisation, coordination and safety

2. The Objective  Empty the tunnel and the experimental caverns  safely  efficiently  in a short time

3. Some numbers  Tens of thousands of components  30,000 tonnes of equipment in the machine plus 10,000 tonnes in the experiments  Almost 50% of the machine to remove before Christmas 2000

4. What is the timescale? ON THE LHC CRITICAL PATH LEP physics DELPHI dismantlingLHC CE LEP physics OPAL dismantlingLHC CE LEP physics ALEPH dismantlingLHC CE LEP physics L3 dismantling LHC CE LEP physics LEP dismantling LHC CE 1 June 2001 1 April 2001 15 July 2001 1 June 2001 1 Mar 2002 2 Oct 2000 IP 2 IP 4 IP 6 IP 8

5.  Who is involved?  CERN personnel  Contract staff  Visiting experimental teams  Laboratory  Construction site  New safety issues  Some new major constraints Several hundred people

6. Installation Nucléaire de Base ( INB )  What is it ?  Why did CERN sign ?  How radioactive are LEP and the experiments ?  LEP: Low induced radioactivity (Très Faiblement Actif - TFA )  Experiments: only the calibration sources are radioactive ( TFA )

7. INB : What does it mean for the dismantling ?  CERN and the French authorities have agreed procedures and rules  zoning, traceability and waste management...  These must be explained to everybody involved in this project  They must be strictly followed

8. INB : Radiological Zoning Procedure  the process of identification of the radioactive elements, based on the original design, calculations and operational experience

9.  Zoning of the Experiments But: Many weak radioactive calibration sources inside the detectors! - hence the requirement to wear a film badge and electronic dosimeter at all times. LEP Very small activities expected TFA Luminosity monitorsConventional

10.  Zoning of LEP

11. NUCLEAR ZONES  Wearing a film badge and an electronic dosimeter is obligatory for all personnel working on equipment classified as TFA ( slightly radioactive). Areas containing TFA materials will be clearly marked Here is a schematic example of such an area D > 25 µSv/h OR D < 25 µSv/h RADIATION ZONE CONTROLEE CONTROLLED AREA FILM BADGE WEAR YOUR PORTER VOTRE RP

12. INB : Practical Implications for the LEP machine  Traceability of all material  label equipment and containers with barcodes  record movements and measurements  in the tunnel  at the surface  at the storage/transit areas  during storage  when the equipment leaves CERN  Systematic radiation checks

13. INB : Practical implications for the experiments  Material disposal  Only TFA material treated like LEP material (traceability)  But all material undergoes systematic radioactivity tests

14.  Monitors  1 RP technician / experiment (8 h/day)  1 RP technician + 1 tracer / pit (8 h/day)  1 tracer per site (dispatcher at surface) (8 h/day)  1 RP technician + 2 tracers in the transit zone (8 h/day)  1 mobile team composed of 1RP technician + 1 tracer (8 h/day)  1 Site watchman / pit (24 h/day)

15.  Constraints Concerning the Equipment  Removal restricted to Mon -Fri, 8-12 h and 13-17 h  Transfer of equipment between the experiments and the LEP tunnel is strictly prohibited. PASSAGE MATERIAL STRICTEMENT INTERDIT PASSAGE OF EQUIPMENT STRICTLY FORBIDDEN  Consequently, access to the caverns and tunnel is restricted toMon-Fri, 7-19 h

16. How it affects you  Access  Access card with UX / U clearance - issued after attending this briefing  Safety  Helmet, safety shoes, gas mask, film badge, safety zone  On-site team briefings TARGET: ZERO ACCIDENTS

17. Respect the Rules - and encourage others to, as well  Violation of rules may lead to  Halting the dismantling  Halting the physics programme  Serious damage of CERN’s reputation
