EV68 - PEP W3: A Health Physics Perspective on Prevention Through Design - Modernization of a World-Class Radiation Physics Facility (Mejias)Orange A 12:15 - 14:15 |
| This course offers a review of the health physics considerations in the design of new facilities which include radioactive material laboratories, industrial/research x-ray devices, and health physics support areas. The course will include a discussion of hazards elimination and/or mitigation during the design phase of a new facility and the renovation of an existing facility. Topics will include shielding design, travel paths between laboratories, personnel contamination check points, and liquid and gaseous effluent monitoring design. Lessons learned from the Modernization of the Radiation Physics building at NIST will be discussed. |
