Low energy heavy charged particle accelerators are generators of ionizing radiation, due to the ion beam interactions into the machine components, targets and surrounding materials. Nowadays there are available computational tools allowing realistic estimates of radiation doses and residual activity of the activated components. These evaluations are further used to design the radiological safety system required by licensing and operation of the equipment.This paper presents results of measurements and numerical simulations of the radiation doses and residual activity, at the recently commissioned Bucharest 3 MV Cockcroft-Walton type Tandetron accelerator presently used mainly for Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) research.
低能重带电粒子加速器是电离辐射源，这是由于离子束与机器部件、靶材及周围材料相互作用所致。如今，已有计算工具可对活化部件的辐射剂量和剩余放射性活度进行实际估算。这些评估结果进而用于设计设备许可和运行所需的辐射安全系统。本文介绍了最近投入使用的布加勒斯特3兆伏考克饶夫-瓦尔顿型串列加速器的辐射剂量和剩余放射性活度的测量结果及数值模拟结果，该加速器目前主要用于离子束分析（IBA）研究。
