RIA - Second Stripper Region Radiation Levels

This FWP represents the continuing ORNL contribution to the R&D effort on the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) project in thecalculation of activation and radiation levels in the second stripper area. The resulting information is critical in determining thenecessity of remote handling capabilities in the area. This effort, which is led by Michigan State University, includes primarilycharacterization of secondary radiation produced by the high-power heavy ion beams interacting in the stripper region. The resultsfrom these studies will determined component design and material choices. Magnet choices in the area will also be driven by theimpact of the high-power dissipation. This work is related to other RIA efforts on development of design concepts and remotehandling approaches for the fragmentation target area, including the beam dump, fragmentation target, and magnet separator. Theseother efforts are covered in separate FWPs.
