Radiation Transport Calculations in Support of FRIB Target Building Local Shield Design - Paper 113
- Facility for Rare Isotope Beams - FRIB, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824 (United States)
Construction of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) began in March 2014 on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU). FRIB will use a 400 kW heavy-ion driver LINAC to accelerate stable ions to energies greater than 200 MeV/u. Rare-isotope beam production will occur via interaction of the heavy-ion primary beam with a rotating carbon production target at the beginning of the fragmentation pre-separator located in the target building. An integral component of the design process involves the quantification of dose equivalents received by both facility personnel and the general public that can be expected once the facility is operational. The MSU ALARA goal for radiation to the general public from FRIB is <10 mrem/y (from all sources). (authors)
