Project calculation of Radiation Protection for the change of two tele-cobalt by two Clinac 600C accelerator.

Service of Radiotherapy
The Department of Radiotherapy, University Hospital
has currently two devices of tele-Cobalts brand MDS Nordion type Phoenix.

The needs of the radiotherapy department at University Medical Center consist of installing two (2) mono-energy linear accelerators.

The two (2) mono-energy linear accelerators with 4 MV,to acquire,
should allow to obtain beams of photons whose characteristics dosimetry must be identical (mirror).

New equipment (Clinac 600C) come instead of two Tele-Cobalt,they will be located in the existing bunkers (attached plan, scale 1 / 100).

Hypothesis

-The recommendations in NCRP 51 will be applied to calculate the barriers shielding rooms 1 and 2 of the two accelerators CLINAC 600C;

-The recommendations of Safety Report Series Report 47 will be applied to calculate
barriers shielding;

- Calculations are based on ordinary concrete of density 2.35 g/cm3;

- The rooms accelerators present a symmetry.Thus the calculations of symmetric barriers are identical.

Data accelerator
- The load of treatment considered is 70 patients per day with a dose of 2.5 Gy per patient;

- The factors for use and occupation adopted are those of the NCRP 51

- Radiation Leak = 0.1% of the primary beam
project

- Study the calculations for radiation protection for the change of two tele-cobalt by two Clinac 600C accelerator
