radiation therapy, industrial radiography, and for re-

search and special purposes are compiled. Trends in

accelerator developaent and iaplications far radiologi-

cal safety are briefly discussed.

During the preparation of a aanual on radiological

safety aspects of the operation of electron linear

accelerators,(l) a worldwide survey vas made to determine

the relevant characteristics of these devices. After the

results were compiled it appeared that this information

would be generally useful in itself. These data provide an

overview of the present status of electron linac

development, as regards their uses, capabilities and

radiological significance. A comparison of radiation

parameters map provide a useful perspective on

radiation-protection needs, and trends in accelerator

devefopnent raav be noted. In the design of new facilities,

existing accelerator isrstallatious of comparable

characteristics xtap be identified and their experience drawn

upon.(2)

Table 1 shows data ou electron linear accelerators

introduced during the past decade for radiation

therapV.(3,4) These are listed in the approximate order of

introduction, but the pararaeters shown reflect recent

specifications, if these are different from the original.

Useful energies appear to be in the range 4 - 25 !!IV for

photon treatment and 4 - 32 HeV for electron irradiation.

There is a remarkable coaasistency among the paralseters

offered, reflecting a general consensus among manufacturers

and users.

The uaxiana field sizes at 1 meter SSD or TAD are

(30 x 30) to (40 x 40) cu2 for recent rodels. Even when

physically achievable (as in electron therapy), dose rates

higher than 500 rad uin-1 m2 are not normally used for

either photon or electron treatments because of regard for

patient safety. The lowest dose rates reported are about

200 rad 85.~1 ~2, still significantly higher than 6OCo or

137Cs units normally provide, The amount of leakage

radiation, as regards room shielding, seems standardized at

about 0.1% of the useful beau at the same distance from the

target, but is less than this in many cases. The leakage

radiation in the patient plane is specified separately in

some cases. Isocentric treatment capability is clearly

desired. With some models, an unatteauated electron beam

can be extracted for research or isotope production. The

use of standing-wave accelerators has allowed ecoraonies in

space utilization for some installations, and the

possibility exists of installing higher-energy,

higher-output units in room originally designed for less

powerful equipment, In such cases and in cases where

stationary field equipment is replaced by equipment capable

of rotational therapy* the adequacy of existing radiation

barriers must be evaluated. If equipment of energy above

about 15 l!eV is installed, the question of neutron streaming

through the door and other penetrations should be

considered, and adequacy of the labyrinth and door assessed.

Table 2 shows data on electron linear accelerators used

in industrial radiography. Output for the standard models

tabulated shous considerable variation (1.5 - 15000 rad

main-1 m2). Leakage radiation, expressed as a percentage of

useful beam at the same distance from the target, is higher

in many cases than for the medical accelerators. In

addition to the standard models, there are a number of

custom-fabricated accelerators of higher energy and output

which are not tabulated.

The high output of some of these models and the variety

of physical accommodations in which they are employed mean

that operating personnel must be carefully trained in their

proper use. This is particularly true because these unfts

are usually mounted to permit considerable freedom in

positioning and beam direction. Because of the number of

degrees of freedom available, limit svitches sometimes

cannot prevent irradiation in all unwanted directions, and

careful administrative control must be exercised:

Table 3 shows parameters of research and spec%al-purpose

electron linacs,[5) Every installation known to the author

has been listed, even though some information is incomplete,

owing to lack of response at the time of writing. The data

given should be considered %oainal;" several of the

parameters can usually be varied over a considerable range.

Some characteristics that distinguish research acceler-

ator facilities are uniqueness of design, high energy, high

power , and variability in experimental setups and modes of

operation. Radiation protection needs for this category of

facility can most simply be portrayed in terms of electron

beam energy and maximum beam power developed, The

parameters given in the right-hand portion of Table 3 are

intended to form a consistent, simultaneouslp achievable

set, giving the highest electron beam power under continuous

operation. Although many of such facilities operate at a

greatly reduced beam power (sap, for single-pulse

operation), it would be conservative practice to plan the

radiation protection needs for new facilities assuming that

the highest values of both energy and beam power are

simultaneously used, Figure 1 is a scatter diagram in which

maximum continuously achievable beam power is plotted

VS. nominal maximum beam energy, Accelerators used --

exclusively as injectors or for aindustrial* purposes such

as radiation processing or sterilization are omitted from

this plot. From this figure, one may estimate the median

energy and power to be around 50 HeB and 10 ku,

respectirely, but with great variation in both directions.

That they tend to be grouped about the line reflects the

fact that each increase in accelerator length or field

gradient tends to augment the energy proportionately but may

not affect the beam current significantly.

A great majority of the installations of Table 3 must

have provision for handling activated components, and in

some cases, actfvated cooling water. Some activftp will be

present at about 10 Hev; above about 20 flev, the magnitude

of these problems scales approximately as beam power.

Radiolytic decomposition of cooling water map be a

problem where high-power beams are used, Uhere electron

beams are transported in air, ozone production may also be a

safety problem.

Units operating well above the pion production

threshold fabout 140 MeB) may present the problem of

high-energy neutron production. This neutron component

dominates the radiation field outsfde of the shielding and,

via "skyshine, * is the major contributor to the population

dose beyond the site boumdarp, At a fev installations

[above about 1 GeV), muon production must also be

considered.

A recent trend in the area of research accelerators(6,f)

is the use of short, intense pulses (on the order of 10

nanoseconds or less) for pulse radiolysis or for secondary

particle energy determination bp time-of-flight. Another

trend is the development of high duty-factor machines

(Amsterdam, Los Alamos EPA [standing wave), HIT. Saclay II).

Superconducting technology (as exemplified by the Stanford

SC Bark III accelerator) may offer the possibility of 100%

Page 7: BADIATIOIJ PARAHETEBS OF ELECTBOEI LIlEAB ACCELERATORS ... · Pering, Electron linear accelerators for radiation therapy: History, principles and contemporary devel- opments, Phps.

duty factor. In contrast to its popularity for medical

accelerators, standing-wave technology is used bp only two

research facilities (Los Alamos EPA, now being installed in

Ljubliana, and Gee1 BCBN). Klystrons of up to 40 MW peak

power have been developed and some facilities with

conventional facilities may choose to fncrease energy and

power by upgrading their BP source. Another means of

increasing beam energy is the SLAC Energy Doubler SLED, an

arrangement by which energy can be approximately doubled

while the duty factor is halved (yielding about the same

average beam power). Such a system is cnrrentlp being

installed at SLAC,

New facilities are now under construction or undergoing

major improvement for nuclear physics research (such as IKCB

in Amsterdam and Bates at MIT). Hovever, in the realm of

elementary particle research, the emphasis has shifted to

the construction of new storage rings fed by existing a

accelerators (e. g., Cornell, DESY, Prascati, Novosibirsk,

Orsay. SLAC). Interesting uses developed in the Soviet

Union are the use of electron linear accelerators for

mineral assay and bulk disinfestatation of grain.

Important trends not revealed by the data presented

here are in the number of new facilities in the three

categories being installed or planned. At the present time,

there are about 600 medical linear accelerators and their

number is increasing at an annual rate of about 15%,(U) The

number of industrial radiographic installations is presently

a small fraction of the medical installations fat most about

10%) bat is also grouing proportionately as applications of

non-destructive testing are developed. The growth in the

number of research and special-purpose electron linacs has

definitely slowed, compared to the rate of construction

during the preceding decade.
