LHCb Experimental Area Meeting - 05 August 2008Gloria Corti Page 3 HCAL sources EDMS 917876: safety manual and operational procedure for scan Calibration scan announced at least 48 hours in advance and notices in PZ85 and PM85 take place from 21:00 in the evening to 7:00 in the morning Flashing panels bottom of Calorimeters stairs and top of gantry at exit of source(s) UX85-B is a supervised area during scan for incident if source would stop during scan Measurements confirm UX85-C is not classified AD6 HCAL platform Maximum dose rate measured = 116 µSv/h Total integrated dose = 1.31 µSv. AD6 Cryo area Maximum dose rate measured: 0.37 µSv/h Total integrated dose: 0.2 µSv. RESPONSIBLE: Rustem Dzhelyadin
