- W67395444 abstract "Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is located in northern California, USA. Radiological environmental protection is one of the main elements of the radiation protection program. One of SLAC's accelerator facilities is B-Factory, whose PEP-II accelerator ring has been operating since 1997 and is being upgraded to higher luminosity operation. Four radiological issues associated with high luminosity operation up to CY2008 are re-evaluated: (1) annual doses in IR halls, (2) annual skyshine doses at site boundaries, (3) potential radioactive air releases, and (4) potential groundwater activation. This paper presents the skyshine doses and air emission doses to the Maximally Exposed Individual (MEI) at SLAC site boundaries. The normal beam loss scenarios around PEP-II ring are presented first. In CY2008, the luminosity is 2 x 10{sup 34} cm{sup -2} s{sup -1}, and the stored current is 4.0-A for low-energy ring (LER ) and 2.2-A for high-energy ring (HER). The beam losses around PEP-II ring include those near injection region in IR10 and IR8 and those at collimators (e.g., HER collimators in IR12, LER collimators in IR4 and IR6). The beam losses in IR8 and IR10 (where injection into ring occurs) are further divided into septum, BAD (beam abort dump) and TD (tune-up more » dump), as well as apertures. The skyshine prompt dose rate distributions as a function of distance from an IR hall at four directions were calculated using the MARS15 Monte Carlo code. For skyshine dose to the MEI, the annual dose (7200 h/y occupancy) is calculated to be 2.9 mrem/y at Sand Hill Road (from e{sup -} losses in IR12 HER collimators) and 1.2 mrem/y at Horse Track Offices near IR6 (from e{sup +} losses in IR8, IR6 and IR4). These are lower than the SLAC skyshine limit of 5 mrem/y for any single facility within SLAC. Radionuclide productions in the air at the PEP-II IR10 were calculated using MARS15. Beam losses of 9-GeV electrons were assumed in three target cases: the copper TD, septum and BAD. Energy spectra of secondary particles of photons, neutrons, protons and pions in the IR10 air region were calculated. Radionuclide yields of {sup 11}C, {sup 13}N, {sup 15}O, {sup 3}H, {sup 7}Be and {sup 41}Ar were estimated using the obtained particle energy spectra, folded with the reaction cross sections. With certain operation and ventilation conditions, the annual air emission dose to the MEI at Sand Hill Road from e{sup -} losses in IR10 is calculated to be 0.004 mrem/y (7200 h/y occupancy). The annual dose to the MEI at Horse Track Offices is 0.002 mrem/y from e{sup +} losses in IR8, 0.003 mrem/y from IR6, and 0.025 mrem/y from IR4. The doses are dominated by {sup 13}N. Therefore, the EPA annual dose limit of 10 mrem/y for SLAC and the continuous ventilation monitoring limit of 0.1 mrem/y for each release point are not exceeded. « less" @default.
