Ninth Workshop on Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF-9)
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Spallation Neutron Source
Oak Ridge, TN, USA
21-23 April 2008
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:
- promote the exchange of information among experts in the
field of
accelerator
shielding and related topics;
- Identify areas where international co-operation can be
fruitful; and
- carry out a programme of work in order to achieve progress
in
specific
priority
areas.
In this context, and on behalf of its Scientific and
Organising Committee,
we announce that the Ninth Workshop on Shielding Aspects of
Accelerators,
Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF-9) took place at the
ORNL Spallation
Neutron Source
from 21-23 April 2008.
