Simulation of induced radioactivity for a heavy ion medical machine

et al.

Abstract: Abstract:For radiation protection and environmental impact assessment purpose, the radioactivity induced by carbon ion of Heavy Ion Medical Machine (HIMM) was studied. Radionuclides in accelerator component, cooling water and air at target area which are induced from primary beam and secondary particles are simulated by FLUKA Monte Carlo code. It is found that radioactivity in cooling water and air is not very important at the required beam intensity and energy which is needed for treatment, radionuclides in a… Show more

“…The results showed that the sound pressure level of HPDE is about 4 dB less than that of PDE, and that the impulse sound pressure level reduces about 2 dB. Xu et al [9][10][11][12][13] studied the formation and propagation process of PDE sound by combing the experimental method and numerical method. The results showed that the detonation peak noise is proportional to −3 power of the radial distance in near-field.…”

“…With the development of heavy ion radiotherapy applications, two HIMMs (Heavy Ion Medical Machines) are currently being built in Lanzhou and Wuwei, Gansu, China, respectively. The details of such facilities are described in a previous article [10]. For the patient safety, it is significant to evaluate the neutron radiation field during the carbon ion therapy.…”

“…Lead compounds have a very wide range of applications in various fields of national economy for its outstanding performance, which also makes a variety of industrial wastewater has become the source of pollution of lead in water [1] . Wastewater containing Pb 2+ without the rigorous treatment venting into natural water, will lead to water pollution, and greatly endanger people's health [2] . Therefore, the elimination of lead in wastewater has very important significance for both environmental protection and human health [3,4] .…”
