We determined the distribution of activation products inside the magnet coils of a medical cyclotron that has been operational for fifteen years. Besides FLUKA, we based our approach on new software tools (RAW and ActiWiz) developed for high-energy accelerators at CERN. A combined analysis of measurements on the coils with Monte-Carlo simulations resulted in a detailed three-dimensional radiological characterisation of the coils. Our results provide the required information for the radiation protection expert to identify the appropriate waste elimination scheme.
我们确定了运行了十五年的医用回旋加速器磁体线圈内激活产物的分布。除了 FLUKA,我们的方法还基于 CERN 为高能加速器开发的新软件工具(RAW 和 ActiWiz)。对线圈的测量结果与蒙特卡罗模拟的综合分析导致了对线圈的详细三维放射学特性描述。我们的结果为辐射防护专家提供了识别适当废物清除方案所需的信息。
