Fermilab,

The purpose of this document is to show that the National Accelerator Laboratory's 15-foot hydrogen bubble chamber is safe for operation. The hazards associated with the facility have been considered and provisions incorporated into the design to insure a minimum risk to equipment and operators. This report is to be issued in two versions. The first version (Nov 1970) covers the material necessary for the final design of the buildings and facilities, as well as descriptions of all the equipment which plays an important role in the layout and arrangement of the area. Also included is a detailed stress analysis report on the 22-foot diameter vacuum tank, a failure mode analysis of a large rupture of the bubble chamber with spillage of liquid into the vacuum vessel, and a cryogenic systems safety report. The second version, entitled "Safety Report -- July 1972", will be issued in July 1972 one month before the scheduled first hydrogen operation of the chamber in order to allow time for review.
