Description

Based on the eight years' experience with the research reactor TRIGA Heidelberg I, a new concept of the facilities for biomedical irradiation problems has been developed. These ideas have been incorporated in the TRIGA Heidelberg II in the final building of the Institute of Nuclear Medicine in the German Cancer Research Center at Heidelberg. The in-core irradiation stations and an open rotary system, each of which can be loaded and unloaded by a hydraulic transport system, are described in detail. The organization and the equipment for handling large numbers of samples under radiation protection are explained. The advantages of the system are discussed. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Aufgrund der achtjaehrigen Erfahrungen mit dem Forschungsreaktor TRIGA Heidelberg I wurde fuer den Reaktor TRIGA Heidelberg II in der Betriebsendstufe des Instituts fuer Nuklearmedizin im Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum in Heidelberg eine neue Konzeption der Peripherie fuer biologisch-medizinische Bestrahlungen entwickelt. Im einzelnen werden die In-Core-Bestrahlungsstationen und ein offenes Bestrahlungskarussell, die mit Hilfe eines hydraulischen Transportsystems be- und entladen werden koennen, beschrieben. Die Ablaeufe und die Einrichtungen zur strahlengeschuetzten Handhabung grosser Probenzahlen werden dargestellt. Die Vorteile des System werden diskutiert. (orig.)
