Radiation protection aspects of the SPES project at LNL

The Selective Production of Exotic Species (SPES) project will be built at the National Laboratories in Legnaro (Italy) of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN). Its goal will be the development of radioactive ion beams and the consequent re-acceleration with the already existing linac, to perform forefront research in the frame of nuclear physics. Radiation protection aspects play along with every stage of the project, e.g. civil construction planning, control system design and special technological plants. These aspects have been studied with the Monte Carlo transport code FLUKA, and are presented in this work. (authors)
