| Abstract: | Bhabha Atomic
Research Centre (BARC) has installed a unique high pulse-powered 2 MeV electron
beam (EB) accelerator for developing industrial applications. It is capable of
delivering powered EB up to 20 W average beam power (1200 kW peak pulse power)
at energy 1 to 2 MeV. Safety features have been designed for safe utilization
during irradiation of large scale products, safety of users, operation staff,
industrial products and several types of material handling equipment. Adequate
shielding is made for bremsstrahlung radiation with maximum beam energy and
power. Safety for ozone emission, high voltage, RF radiation has been addressed. This paper gives an account of
overall safety features incorporated in the facility. |
