Ionizing Radiation

• Radiation, simply defined, is energy transferred through space and matter.

• When radiation travels through a medium, it deposits (loses) some of its energy to the medium.

• Radiation doses to personnel during operations are primarily the result of secondary radiation caused by the beam striking a target, hardware, or shielding that surrounds the beam line.

• The beam pipes and other parts of the machine may become activated during operations. This residual activity is a major source of exposure.

Page 38: HSO Course

38 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Ionizing Radiation - TLD

• TLD is short for Thermo Luminescent Dosimeter.

• TLD is used to monitor radiation exposure.

• TLD responds to most types of radiation in the same way as tissue.

• TLD at the CLS measures exposure to beta, X-rays, Gamma and neutron radiation.

• Information required to get a TLDo First and last name, Date of Birth

(DOB), SIN, Place of Birth, and Past dose history if applicable – Contact User Office for more info.

Page 39: HSO Course

39 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Ionizing Radiation

• TLD Dose Reporto Your quarterly dose report is available upon

request from the CLSI HSE Department. o You will be notified if your dosimeter records

a radiation dose above the minimum detectable limit.

Page 40: HSO Course

40 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Ionizing Radiation - EPD

• EPD is short for Electronic Personal Dosimeter

• EPD is used when immediate dose measurements or dose rate alarm functions are needed.

• The electronic dosimeter has a broad dose range and is very accurate.

• This dosimeter is issued to escorted visitors who require entry into Radiological Controlled Areas.

Page 41: HSO Course

41 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Ionizing Radiation

• Assigned TLD and any other personal monitoring devices shall be worn on the waist or chest while in the facility.

• TLD must be stored in a designated location (badge rack in front lobby or west entrance) when not in use.

• Lost/Damaged TLD must be reported immediately to CLSI HSE Department.

42 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Chemical/Biological - WHMIS

• WHMIS stands for Workplace Hazardous Material Information System.

• WHMIS is a system designed to give employers and workers information about hazardous materials in the workplace.

• It is done by identifying and classifying the hazards in the workplace and ensuring consistency of information about hazardous materials.

• This information is given through the use of labels, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and worker training.

Page 43: HSO Course

43 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Chemical/Biological

• The CLS facility has hazardous materials from all WHMIS classes.

• Chemical and biological materials can have serious health effects on a worker.

• The identity of these materials, the possible health effects and any special precautions are clearly spelled out on the labels or in the Material Safety Data Sheets.

• The Hazardous Materials Management Plan (Doc. No. 11.12.55.1) will provide you with the information necessary for the proper storage, handling and disposal of chemicals.

Page 44: HSO Course

44 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Cryogenic

• Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are used in the Super Conducting Cavity in the Storage Ring and Cryogen-room.

• Liquid nitrogen is distributed to beamline enclosures and stations as required

• Liquid nitrogen fill station is located at the Loading Dock.

• These liquids are extremely cold and can cause severe frost-bite if you come into contact with them.

• They also have a high expansion ratio (1:700) and can reduce the oxygen concentration in the air, creating an oxygen deficient atmosphere.

Page 45: HSO Course

45 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Physical

• Noiseo The noise in mechanical rooms or around

equipment can exceed the Provincial guidelines. The sound levels are measured and signs are posted as required.

Page 46: HSO Course

46 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Physical

• Ultraviolet lighto UV light is produced during the welding

process. Care must be taken to wear the proper eye and face protection while welding.

• Heightso Working at heights above 3 meters requires

you to be tied off.

Page 47: HSO Course

47 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Physical

• Forklifto The forklift traveling through the

facility can be hazardous for anyone walking, the load being carried could restrict the vision of the operator. Operators must be certified to operate the forklift

• Craneo The crane moving back and forth

could be carrying loads and creating a hazard overhead. Operators must be certified to operate the Crane.

Page 48: HSO Course

48 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Physical

• Vacuum/Compressed airo The beam pipe is under a high vacuum. An

implosion of a vacuum system can generate small flying objects.

o There are compressed air lines throughout the building.

• Machine shopo Moving parts on equipment, welding,

grinding and cutting are some of the hazards found in a machine shops.

Page 49: HSO Course

49 11.14.52.1 Rev. 2 2005-02-23

Electrical/Magnetic

• Electrical Fieldso The CLS uses high voltage and current to

operate various power supplies. o There are 4 main types of injuries

Direct contact with electrical energy Electrical arcs Thermal burns Muscle contractions causing a worker to fall

• Magnetic Fieldso Exposure to magnetic fields of extremely low

frequency may present a health risk.
