The Challenges
The Aurora expert team is involved in the design of the first NHS proton beam therapy facility in the UK, providing radiation safety advice to the facility design and construction team.
The Tasks
Shielding Design
The design of radiation shielding and investigations into activation of construction materials, require Aurora’s established and dedicated expertise in Monte Carlo modelling techniques.
Critical examination
Aurora performed a detailed radiation survey using specialist neutron monitoring equipment in all areas adjacent to the facility including the 3 storey external walls. The survey demonstrated that the shielding met the design specification for the facility
The Results
