Presentation SHIELDING

Speaker

Mr Elbio Calzada (Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II))

Description

The installation of the shielding and the neutron guides at the FRM II presented a particular challenge due to the limited crane access and the strict safety requirements on site. Simple aids such as air cushions, hydraulic tools and winches were used to overcome these obstacles. The installation of the neutron guides through three buildings required careful consideration of the fire safety, radiological and mechanical requirements. Another challenge was the installation between buildings with different atmospheric pressures. This presentation will look at the detailed strategies and solutions used to successfully overcome these intricate issues. Unexpected situations or interfaces not considered in the design with their respective surprises are not hidden in this talk.
