Area of Science:

Nuclear Physics and Engineering
Radiation Protection and Dosimetry

Background:

CERN's operational dosimetry system required an upgrade to align with safety protocols for facility shutdowns.
The previous system lacked immediate data checking and integration with intervention planning tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To implement an upgraded operational dosimetry system at CERN.
To enhance the immediate and automatic checking and recording of dosimetry data.
To integrate the dosimetry system with the Intervention Management Planning and Coordination Tool (IMPACT) for ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) analysis.

Main Methods:

Upgraded the operational dosimetry system at CERN in March 2013.
Interfaced the new dosimetry system with the web-based Intervention Management Planning and Coordination Tool (IMPACT).
Enabled automatic checking and recording of dosimetry data before and after interventions in radiation areas.

Main Results:

The upgraded system allows immediate and automatic verification and logging of dosimetry data.
The integration with IMPACT facilitates direct comparison of estimated versus actual radiation doses.
Alarm levels in dosemeters can now be configured based on specific intervention requirements.

Conclusions:

The new dosimetry system enhances radiation safety and monitoring at CERN.
The integration with IMPACT supports CERN's ALARA strategy by providing real-time dose analysis.
The system improves the efficiency and accuracy of radiation dose management during facility operations and interventions.
