5-Target Facility Challenges
Invited Talk
In the facilities for the production of radioactive ion beams based on the isotope separation on line (ISOL) technique, the target system is surely one of the most critical objects. Thick targets are widely used worldwide and they operate mainly in combination with high energy high intensity protons. High intensities are usually necessary to fulfill the most important target requirement, that...

Continued operation of Fermilab target facilities yields a waste stream of radioactive components at the end of their usable life. These components must be removed, stored, and disposed of in an environmentally sound and legally compliant manner. Methods for achieving this at Fermilab are discussed.

TRIUMF maintains a high power ISOL target facility called ISAC (Isotope Separator and Accelerator), which generates about 10 waste targets per year with dose rates up to 1 Sv/h at 1 m. TRIUMF has remote handling infrastructure in place for servicing the ISAC target modules, including a hot cell and remote bridge crane. Upgrades underway include a second hot cell and a crane rotation...
