ATLASSafety Assessment Document1. INTRODUCTION1.1. ATLAS FacilityThe ATLAS (Argonne Tandem-Linac Accelerator System) facility is one of the leadingfacilities for nuclear structure research in the United States. It provides a wide range ofstable and radioactive ion beams for research by a large international community ofscientists exploring areas of atomic physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. Inaddition, ATLAS provides a facility for the development and testing of components andexperimental equipment for the next generation of particle accelerators.Since its inception in 1985, the ATLAS facility has continually been upgraded in order tobe at the forefront of nuclear research. These upgrades have served to increase thecapabilities of the accelerator system, improve the performance of the control system andradiation interlock system, reduce system maintenance requirements, and provideadvanced research capabilities and instrumentation. Presently, the ATLAS facility isbeing upgraded to study the nuclear reactions and structures relevant to the astrophysicalprocesses responsible for the production of heavy elements in the universe by developingthe capability to accelerate neutron-rich fission fragments (the Cf Rare Ion BreederUpgrade, CARIBU) and by measuring their masses (Canadian Penning Trap) and usingthem as projectiles for nuclear structure experiments (HELIOS, Gretina/Gammasphere).The facility changes described in this revision of the Safety Assessment Document(SAD) will result in increased accelerator beam current. This increased current can beimmediately utilized for medium and heavy projectiles while remaining within thepresent Accelerator Safety Envelope (ASE).The ATLAS facility is located at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). ANL is a facilityowned by the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) and operated by UChicago Argonne,LLC, a consortium formed by the University of Chicago with industrial partners JacobsEngineering Group Inc. and BWX Technologies, Inc.1.2. Protection of Workers, Public, and EnvironmentThe requirements imposed on the ATLAS facility for the protection of the health andsafety of workers and the public, and the protection of the environment are established byDOE and ANL. These requirements cover all aspects of ATLAS activities and assurethat those activities are conducted in accordance with the applicable rules and regulationsestablished by other federal organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).03/20/2014ATLAS Safety Assessment DocumentPage 1

For the ATLAS facility, there is a set of documents that is particularly applicable toaccelerator facilities, and there is an established hierarchy in the set of documents thatspecify the health, safety, and environmental requirements. In this hierarchy, the highestauthorities are: Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 820 “Procedural Rules forDOE Nuclear Activities” (Reference 1-1), Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations,Part 835 “Occupational Radiation Protection” (Reference 1-2) and Title 10, Code ofFederal Regulations, Part 851 “Worker Safety and Health Programs” (Reference 1-3).The next set of controlling documents are various DOE Orders, including DOE Order420.1C “Facility Safety” (Reference 1-4) and DOE Order 420.2C “Safety of AcceleratorFacilities” (Reference 1-5). The implementation of the DOE rules and regulations foractivities at ANL is provided by various policies and procedures including the ANLEnvironment, Safety, and Health Manual (Reference 1-6) and Accelerator SafetyProcedure LMS-PROC-188 (Reference 1-7).1.3. Safety Assessment DocumentThe purpose of this Safety Assessment Document (SAD) for the ATLAS facility is todescribe in sufficient detail all significant hazards presented by the facility and itsoperation and the controls by which these hazards will be managed to an acceptable levelof risk. The SAD is written in compliance with DOE Order 420.2C “Safety ofAccelerator Facilities” and ANL Accelerator Safety Procedure LMS-PROC-188.The topics addressed in the remaining chapters of the SAD are described below: Chapter 2 of this SAD provides an overview of the results and conclusions of theanalyses provided in this SAD. Chapter 3 addresses the characteristics of the Argonne site with attention beinggiven to natural phenomena and nearby activities which could impact the safety ofthe ATLAS facility. The chapter also provides descriptive information on theATLAS facility itself, including those facility features that are important formaintaining the safety of the facility. Finally, the chapter discusses theoperational aspects of the facility which are relevant to safety. Chapter 4 identifies the variety of hazards that the ATLAS facility presents toworkers, the public, and the environment, and specifies those hazards which aredeemed to be most significant in terms of health, safety, and environmentalconcerns. Credible accidents due to operational, natural, and man-made eventsthat could cause the significant hazards to be realized are postulated. Chapter 5 provides the basis for the ATLAS facility’s Accelerator SafetyEnvelope (ASE); the set of administrative and physical conditions that define thebounding conditions for the safe operation of the facility. The chapter alsoaddresses the facility’s Operations Envelope; a set of conditions, more restrictivePage 2ATLAS Safety Assessment Document03/20/2014

than those specified in the ASE, which facility management imposes to assurethat the ASE conditions are unlikely to be exceeded. Chapter 6 discusses the quality assurance program which is applicable to theATLAS facility. Chapter 7 discusses post-operations planning for the ATLAS facility. The chapteridentifies features of the facility and on-going activities which will facilitate thefuture decommissioning, decontamination, and dismantlement of the facility, anddiscusses planning for the post-operations phases. Chapter 8 provides the references cited elsewhere in the SAD. Chapter 9 identifies the acronyms and defines the technical terms used in thisSAD. The Appendix provides the Accelerator Safety Envelope and OperationsEnvelope for the ATLAS facility.The SAD, 2013 Revision 1, Intensity Upgrade, is based on material present in theprevious version of the ATLAS Facility SAD, 2013 (approved January 26, 2013),information and analyses developed during the CARIBU Project and the ATLASintensity upgrade, and hazard analyses performed for various ATLAS activities. TheSAD has been reviewed by facility and Physics Division personnel having expertise inaccelerator operations and safety. A committee of knowledgeable ANL and non-ANLmembers, having no relationship with the ATLAS facility, has also reviewed this SAD.The SAD has been approved and signed by the ATLAS Facility Manager and theDirector, Physics Division. The Associate Laboratory Director for Physical Sciences andEngineering and the Deputy Laboratory Director for Operations provide concurrence byforwarding the SAD to the manager of the DOE Argonne Site Office.1.4. Accelerator Safety EnvelopeThe Accelerator Safety Envelope (ASE) specified in this SAD is identical to the ASE inthe previous two revisions of the SAD. In accordance with the requirements of LMSPROC-188, the Accelerator Safety Review Committee (ASRC) reviewed the modifiedASE and its supporting documentation (i.e., the SAD). The Laboratory Director, basedon the ASRC recommendation, approved that ASE, which remains unchanged in thisrevision.The previous ASE and its supporting documentation were reviewed by DOE’s ArgonneSite Office in accordance with the requirements of DOE Order 420.2B, -“Safety ofAccelerator Facilities.” The Manager, Argonne Site Office, concurred in the approval ofthat ASE.03/20/2014ATLAS Safety Assessment DocumentPage 3

2. SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS2.1. Overview of Results and ConclusionsThis Safety Assessment Document analyses the safety issues presented by the ATLASaccelerator facility. The conclusion reached as a result of this process is that there is nocompromise to the safety of employees, the general public or the environment. Allpotential hazards have been either eliminated or mitigated through the use of engineeredand/or administrative controls.The postulated accidents which create the most significant hazards involve asphyxiationby helium, nitrogen, or sulfur hexafluoride and accidents involving high voltage electricalhazards. Both of those types of hazards are present in DOE accelerator facilities and areaccepted risks, assuming that appropriate safeguards have been adopted to assure that thelikelihood of occurrence is very low.The maximum credible incident is a postulated gasoline fire resulting from a truckdelivering liquid nitrogen (LN2) sliding into the CARIBU addition to Building 203 andspilling its fuel. The radiological consequences of the incident are determined for an offsite individual at the nearest site boundary, assuming an unmitigated release of 252Cf.The consequences are a small fraction of the evaluation guideline of 25 rem totaleffective dose equivalent.2.2. Comprehensiveness of the Safety AnalysisNineteen types of hazards present in the ATLAS facility were identified and examined.For the seven hazards having minor or major consequences, possible accidents werepostulated, consequences considered, and appropriate safety systems identified. Thehazard and safety analyses provided in this SAD provide a comprehensive review of therisks present in the ATLAS facility.2.3. Appropriateness of Proposed ASEThe Accelerator Safety Envelope (ASE) is not proposed to change in the current versionto the SAD. The ASE retains the feature of separate radiation limitations for theaccelerator portions of the ATLAS facility and limits the potential hazards associatedwith the 252Cf source used for radioactive beam ion production by limiting the size of theallowed 252Cf source as well as identifying requirements for radiation monitoring of theareas near the source and exhaust effluents from the facility. The ASE provides anappropriate set of physical and administrative controls to assure the safety of the ATLASfacility.Page 4ATLAS Safety Assessment Document03/20/2014
