Abstract

Radiation protection considerations related to radioactive ion beam facilities are discussed. Both the in-flight type and ISOL type are included in this paper. A description of the facility is first provided to better understand the problem. Then, two key components, the production target and beam dump are introduced for their impact on radiation safety. The study of prompt radiation field or shielding design is also presented for different facilities. In addition, the induced radioactivity in accelerator components is addressed for possible interventions and final decommissioning. Finally, the remote handling system in each facility is also reviewed, which is dedicated designed to conduct the maintenance of highly activated components. The aim of this work is to provide valuable experience for other under construction or planned accelerator facilities.
