DRAFT<br />

2.4.11.1 the beam catcher will be the most activated part as it catches almost the full beam power of<br />

40 kW. At 1 GeV/u the factor for comparing protons with uranium ions is still 0.2, which means an<br />

equivalent of 10 kW/m proton beam at the beam catcher, which forbids maintenance by people but<br />

robots can be used.<br />

Figure 2.4.174: Radiation shielding bottle at PSI [65] to move activated parts to a hot cell. The whole plug is<br />

pulled into the bottle which is then transported with a crane.<br />

The activation of the preceding and following dipole magnet is also shown in Figure 2.4.172. The<br />

activation there is much lower than that of the iron in the beam catcher. Still human access is not<br />

possible. But all cable connections can be removed from the working platform and the magnet<br />

separated into at least two pieces can be hooked to the crane and moved. This case presents the<br />

worst case accident for the machine; however, all devices are designed not to fail during their<br />

lifetime. Still this case can be managed when declaring the entire target hall a closed area and<br />

installing additional shielding where to store the magnet pieces.<br />

The values are much reduced in the Main-<strong>Separator</strong>. A factor 1000 times lower beam intensity and<br />

more distributed beam catcher lead to about 1 W/m. Still, allowing 10 9 Uranium ions at 1 GeV/u to<br />

pass through the whole Main-<strong>Separator</strong> is equivalent to the uranium primary beam rate nowadays<br />
