Abstract:In the widespread use of medical cyclotrons for isotope production, radiological and economic consequences related to the decommissioning of particle accelerators are often neglected. However, decommissioning regulation and its related procedures always demand efforts and costs that can unexpectedly impact on budgets. The magnitude of this impact depends strongly on the residual radioactivity of the accelerator and of the vault, and more specifically on the kind and activity concentration of residual radionucl… Show more
