Integration of Decommissioning Risk Management Activities in the Safety Assessment Methodology of Facility
Abstract: AbstractDecommissioning activities in facilities is a particular case, which includes the stop of operation, dismantling of engineered barriers and changing of administration procedures. Despite that the operation of the facility is ceased, decommissioning processes have the potential to create hazards in the facility. Therefore, in order to build confidence for the safety of decommissioning activities, safety assessment and risk management shall be studied. Safety assessment documents, prepared by the operators, …

Short Review on Medical Applications of Particle Accelerators for Cancer Therapy
Abstract: AbstractThe cancer therapy by accelerators depends mainly on the following technologies: higher RF electron linear accelerator (linac); optimization of proton linac; synchrotron, cyclotron; superconducting magnet; and principles of laser. Firstly, the medical accelerators are described as a set of high RF linacs, synchrotrons, cyclotrons and superconducting magnets. Secondly, the medical accelerators are described as a set of accelerators applying the principles of laser. This short review will be helpful to …
