RADIOACTIVITY OF SYNCHROCYCLOTRON COOLING WATER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4292016
The cooling Water for the dee of the Harwell synchrocyclotron has been found to be active, producing radia tion levels up to 100 mr/hour on various parts of the cooling system. From the characterlstics of the radiation and radiochemical studies, the activity is tentatively assigned to O/sup 15/ and C/ sup 11/ produced by spallation reactions on the 0/sup 16/ of the cooling water. The implications of this result are briefly discussed. (auth)
