Particle accelerators have evolved over the last decades from simple devices to powerful machines and are having an increasingly important impact on research, technology and lifestyle. Today they cover a wide range of applications including Material Science and medical applications. In recent years, requirements from new technological and research applications have emerged and the number of accelerator facilities in operation, being commissioned, designed or planned has significantly increased. Their parameters (such as the beam energy, beam currents and intensities, targets composition, etc.) vary widely giving rise to new radiation shielding aspects and problems.
The activities of the Expert Group on Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF) are sponsored by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and its Nuclear Science Committee (NSC) and co-sponsored by the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) and the Division of Radiation Science and Technology of the Atomic Society of Japan. The main objectives of SATIF meetings are to:
This meeting is held in conjunction with the Ninth International Conference on Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation (SRI2006) scheduled for 28 May-2 June 2006 at Daegu, EXCO, Republic of Korea.
