9 Cooling system for high power dumpsHazards: 15O (2-min half-life) and 11C (20-min half-life) in water coolant; decay after beam off 3H (12.3-yr half-life, beta emitter) remained in cooling system Erosion/corrosion products (22Na, 54Mn, 60Co, 65Zn, etc.) and 7Be in resin/filters Potential leakage of radioactive water Explosion from H2 build-up in surge tank and release of radionuclides The LCW flowing through the dump cooling system will be activated via interactions of the secondary particles produced in the dump with the water compound and with erosion and corrosions products. Therefore, the operation and maintenance of the LCW system may lead to potential radiological impacts to workers and to the environment. There are over 150 site –wide separate LCW systems cooling various components: magnets, halo and protection collimators, dumps (80-100) BAS-II, BSY Collimators (HX1), SL10, SL30 (HX2), BDE, NFF, SFF systems Historically, during high power operations (A-line, SLC), ~35 systems have been radioactive Require RP coverage – All resin bottles, filters need to be monitored Plans are to use HX2 for LCW for a new high power BSY dump and the two EBD LCLS-I operations, Historically Requirements: Minimize worker exposure and environmental impacts Minimize impacts to accelerator operation Reliable system for long-term performance Jan Blaha - SATIF13, Oct 9-12, 2016

Results used for: Optimization of dump and shielding design Thermo-mechanical studies (input to FHeat3D) Evaluation of damage to components around the dump (electronics, cables, etc.) Energy balance [%] Water dump Surface cooled dump Internally cooled dump Solid parts 76.97 96.78 96.07 Water 18.42 0.03 0.48 Rest 4.61 3.19 3.45 For instance, almost factor 40 higher energy deposition in internally cooled dump than in water dump Rastering (2 cm radius) increases energy deposition by about 40 % Jan Blaha - SATIF13, Oct 9-12, 2016

16 Residual activity [MBq/l]Shielding for supply and return pipes SXR and HXR lines 1 m Example: Undulator hall Pipes will be routed inside the accelerator enclosure providing sufficient shielding (otherwise 1m depth in soil) Routing distance about 600 m (from dumps to switch yard) Different distance from the pipes, area classifications, additional requirements (temperature stability) were considered Accelerator tunnel should be accessible 1 hour after beam off Design limit < 5 µSv/h at 1m for residual radiation Shielding calculation performed for a line source (less shielding amount over long distance) and different pipe diameters Significant impact to cost Residual activity [MBq/l] Dose rate at 1 m [μSv/h] Shielding [cm] Lead Iron Concrete Water dump 145.8 113 2.1 7.5 24.5 Internally cooled 3.56 5 - Surface cooled 0.96 1 After 1 hour shielding dominated by C-11 (C-11 accounts for 20% of total Asat) Shielding can be reduced by factor of 2 by extending access time to 1.5 hours (no shielding is required if access is permitted 2.5 hours after beam off) Jan Blaha - SATIF13, Oct 9-12, 2016
17 Other controls and requirementsRequirement on separate cooling systems, one for BSY and one for End beam dumps. This allows access downstream areas when beam is parked on BSY dump Requirements on radiation monitoring and access to the cooling system housing No access permitted during operation (High Radiation Area) Radiation detector interlocked to the access door (triggers a local alarm and will alert operators in control room) Requirements on system containment System housing with secondary containment (allowing easy decontamination) with a leak detection monitor Pressure difference between primary and secondary circuits Secondary containment for piping (accelerator enclosure is considered as a second containment) Requirements for resin tanks High capacity resin tanks (~ 400 l) to ensure no more than 1 exchange per year Tanks should have remote or auto-exchange feature to reduce exposure from their post processing At leas 2 resin tanks should be used. One for operation and one for decay (Be-7) Jan Blaha - SATIF13, Oct 9-12, 2016
18 Summary and conclusionsActivity analysis of water coolant has been performed for three types of high power dumps Shielding for the cooling system housing and piping has been defined Radiation controls for access and system containment has been discussed Radiological design of the cooling system has been completed at SLAC for three types of high power dumps. Same concept can be adapted by similar facilities worldwide. Jan Blaha - SATIF13, Oct 9-12, 2016
