| Abstract: | Indus-1 and Indus-2
are two Synchrotron Radiation Sources (SRS) operational at RRCAT, Indore.
During shut down of these accelerators for maintenance purpose, residual
radioactivity measurements were carried out. The present paper describes the
measurements carried out and the radio-isotopes identified. Maximum dose rate
due to induced activity obtained is 28 µSv/h near dipole-5 of booster
synchrotron after 12 h of cooling time. In case of Indus-1 and Indus-2 SRS, the
dose rate due to induced radioactivity is found to be of the order of 2-3
µSv/h. The radio isotopes identified at these beam loss locations are beta
emitters that do not pose serious external hazard to the working personnel. |
