Description

This standard applies to all phases of the accelerator
facility's life cycle, including design, installation,
commissioning, operation, maintenance, upgrade, and
decommissioning. This standard specifies requirements and
recommendations for radiation safety program management and
technical aspects.

This standard is suitable for all accelerator facilities using
electron, positron, proton, or ion particles capable of producing
ionizing radiation hazards. However, accelerators used within a
formalized medical setting directly for diagnosis and/or therapy,
such as medical accelerators used for radiotherapy and
radio-diagnosis in hospitals, are not covered by this standard.

Accelerator facilities covered by this standard include, but are
not limited to, the following accelerator systems:

Small table-top accelerators

Radiography machines > 1 MeV (inspection systems for
security, contraband, etc.)

Industrial accelerators (ion implanters, electron beam welders,
medical sterilization accelerators, etc.)

Accelerators such as cyclotrons producing radioisotopes for
medical or nonmedical uses

Facilities manufacturing and testing medical or industrial
accelerators

Multi-use facilities that use accelerators for both medical and
non-medical purposes (sub-facilities used only for medical purposes
are excluded)

Van de Graaff and other DC-type accelerators

Pulse beam machines providing high peak currents at low duty
factors

Large, high-dose-rate R&D machines Synchrotron light and
free electron laser (FEL) facilities

Heavy ion accelerators
