Liquid-hydrogen Hazards Associated With Bubble Chambers
Journal Article
·
· Health Physics
The hazards of liquid hydrogen as used in bubble chambers, and methods for the control of these hazards, are reviewed and discussed. The principal source of danger lies in malfunction or failure of equipment, releasing gas into the atmosphere with the formation of an explosive hydrogen-air mixture. Important safety considerations are: proper design of equipment and housing facilities, hydrogen control before, during, and after bubble chamber operation, and elimination of ignition sources. Differences in control procedures at various facilities are set forth and research to establish a basis for uniform safety guidelines is described. (P.C.H.)
