Abstract
In the first six months of 1993 the TASCC facility set a new record for beam delivery:2937 hours. This is 68% of the total time and is a measure of the facility`s reliability and the vigor of its experimental programs. The Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) group, specializing in {sup 36}Cl detection, has studied the Cigar Lake uranium deposit as well as {sup 36}Cl release from historical bomb tests and contemporary reactors. TASCC beams have also been used to create single-event upsets in integrated circuits and to simulate reactor conditions in radiolysis and fuel-damage studies. During this six month period, the cyclotron provided beam on target for 490 hours. This is somewhat less than the previous reporting period. Including beam development and operator training, the cyclotron operated for 1076 hours, or 30% of the total facility beam time. Tandem beams were used, either for experiments or development purposes, for a total of 3788 hours. This beam time was 98% of the scheduled operating time. The experiments were mostly collaborative efforts, involving university and other non-TASCC scientists, in addition to the TASCC scientists. 9 tabs., 12 figs.
