Recently, many cyclotrons used for the production of [F-18] FDG in Korea is in the phase of dismantling. While many studies, such as the assessment of activation levels, have been conducted for cyclotron decommissioning, the research on survey-based clearance method has not been carried out domestically. Therefore, this study aims to discuss the feasibility of developing a survey-based method...

Tritium production in particle accelerator facilities must be carefully evaluated to ensure safe operation and compliance with regulatory limits. Radiation transport codes can estimate tritium production in accelerator components and shielding; however, they generally do not describe the subsequent release of tritium or its diffusion through shielding materials.

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is an accelerator-based neutron source facility that provides the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world for scientific research and industrial development. SNS converts a 1.8 MW proton beam of 1.3 GeV energy and sub-micro-second pulse width incident on a mercury target into a neutron source at 60 Hz repetition...

The CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso (CNGS) facility was commissioned in 2006 and operated from 2008 to 2012. It was designed to observe muon to tau neutrino oscillations with an intense muon-neutrino beam generated on the CERN side and directed over 732 km toward the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. 400 GeV/c protons were extracted from the CERN SPS and interacted with a carbon target,...

Argonne National Laboratory successfully ran a Molybdenum Research Experiment (AMORE) to study production of \textsuperscript{99}Mo in which accelerator-driven subcritical fission of an aqueous LEU uranyl sulfate solution was demonstrated using an electron accelerator. Depleted uranium was used as the electron-to-photon converter and the neutrons produced irradiated a 20-liter uranyl sulfate...

Accurate prediction of induced radioactivity is essential for accelerator lifecycle management, radioactive waste characterization, radiological zoning, and radiation protection. At the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), an experimental program was developed to benchmark FLUKA predictions of beam-loss-induced activation using irradiated metal samples...

CERN’s planned Beam Dump Facility (BDF) developed within the HI-ECN3 project will host the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment, a next-generation facility designed to explore light dark matter and other hidden sector particles. At the core of the BDF is a tungsten target designed to absorb most of the particle cascade produced by the high intensity 400 GeV/c proton beam and...
