TRIUMF 500-MeV, 100-μA isotope production facility

Creators

  • 1. Univ. of Vancouver, British Columbia

Description

A facility for isotope production has been built to be installed in the TRIUMF 500-MeV proton beam. A plywood and acrylic model was built to study cooling water flow characteristics, the target drive system, and human engineering features with respect to target transfer into a lead container. Target and window heat transfer tests were done prior to final construction. The actual target drive system and its control system have been assembled and tested and are ready for installation in the beam line
