Description

The present paper focuses on analysis of radiological hazard of spallation products that appears to be an important factor that might affect the choice of beam/target performance in designing the accelerator-driven systems. The analysis is done in terms of toxicity expressed in units of annual limits on intake (ALI). It reveals the significant contribution of alpha emitting rare earths (146Sm, 148Gd, 150Gd, 154Dy) into overall toxicity of spallation targets. (author)
