Title :
Radiological protection policy aspects concerning the preliminary design and operation modus of the Athens RT microtron facility
Author_Institution :
Inst. of Accel. Syst. & Applications, Athens, Greece
Abstract :
The 185 MeV racetrack microtron under installation in the Athens Institute of Accelerating Systems and Applications has been developed in a joint NIST/LANL project, in order to cover the need for CW electron accelerators for nuclear physics. The features of the NIST/LANL RTM allow the use of the accelerator to drive a FEL, as well as, a wide range of applications in irradiation techniques (e.g. material science, radiobiology, etc.)
