Splash Mitigation
• Study 2 assumed a particle bed of tungsten balls to minimize effects of jet entering pool• Many other feasible concepts
to accomplish this function• Simulation/analytical studies
may be useful to limit options• Pool circulation and drainage
locations also need to be studied• Prototypic testing needed for
comparison & final determination

Issues & Questions
• Do jet & beam drill hole into mercury pool?• Narrow or wide channel? Deep or shallow?• How & where to incorporate drainage? Upstream or
downstream?• How to protect downstream beam window from waves
and splashes?• Is the steady-state condition calmer than start-up?• Can these mitigation options be easily simulated? What
about doing water tests?
