Fire Safety Design by means of PBD. The FCC study case
The Future Circular Collider study aims at exploring and designing the required infrastructure and technology for an underground particle accelerator that would span 98km about 400m underground.
A Performance Based Design (PBD) process was launched to assist in the conceptual study phase by evaluating the foreseen safety measures...
The FIRIA (Fire-Induced Radiological Integrated Assessment) project was launched by CERN’s HSE Unit on January 2018 to address the needs of the Organization to guarantee a suitable level of safety of its research facilities with respect to life, environment and property.
The project aims to refine the methodological and physical assumptions in use at CERN though the development of a general...
Test to prove the sprinkler capacity for the ESS Building G02 (Gallery)
At Jefferson Lab high-power lasers (Class 3B and Class 4) are used in research and accelerator operations. The laser safety program provides the methods used to mitigate the hazards posed by optical lasers that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm to 1mm. Jefferson Lab has developed engineering and administrative controls, warnings devices, and documented procedures to control the hazard...
The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is the second largest accelerator at CERN, a 450 GeV proton and heavy ion machine serving the North Area experimental area and playing a key role as an injector for the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). Commissioned in 1976, the SPS featured a fire safety concept dating from the 70’s, that remained unchanged until today and for which CERN management launched a...
