W/D NO S/S
This standard applies to all phases of the acceleratorfacility’s life cycle, including design, installation,commissioning, operation, maintenance, upgrade, anddecommissioning. This standard specifies requirements andrecommendations for radiation safety program management andtechnical aspects.
This standard is suitable for all accelerator facilities usingelectron, positron, proton, or ion particles capable of producingionizing radiation hazards. However, accelerators used within aformalized medical setting directly for diagnosis and/or therapy,such as medical accelerators used for radiotherapy andradio-diagnosis in hospitals, are not covered by this standard.
Accelerator facilities covered by this standard include, but arenot limited to, the following accelerator systems:
Small table-top accelerators
Radiography machines > 1 MeV (inspection systems forsecurity, contraband, etc.)
Industrial accelerators (ion implanters, electron beam welders,medical sterilization accelerators, etc.)
Accelerators such as cyclotrons producing radioisotopes formedical or nonmedical uses
Facilities manufacturing and testing medical or industrialaccelerators
Multi-use facilities that use accelerators for both medical andnon-medical purposes (sub-facilities used only for medical purposesare excluded)
Van de Graaff and other DC-type accelerators
Pulse beam machines providing high peak currents at low dutyfactors
Large, high-dose-rate R&D machines Synchrotron light andfree electron laser (FEL) facilities
Heavy ion accelerators
