HCAL sources Hadron CALorimeter uses 2 137Cs sources for calibration one per half
detector gamma sources: nº4145RP (330 MBq) and nº4146RP (300 MBq)
Notice at PZ85 and PM85 of presence of sources in UX85-B with map indicating location of garages
garage on floor of electronics platform on top of HCAL, source blocked inside
UX85-B conventional area when source in garage (≤ 0.5 µSv/h at 40 cm)

HCAL sources
EDMS 917876: safety manual and operational procedure for scan Calibration scan announced at least 48 hours in advance and notices in
PZ85 and PM85 take place from 21:00 in the evening to 7:00 in the morning
Flashing panels bottom of Calorimeters stairs and top of gantry at exit of source(s)
UX85-B is a supervised area during scan for incident if source would stop during scan
Measurements confirm UX85-C is not classified
AD6 HCAL platform
Maximum dose rate measured = 116 µSv/h Total integrated dose = 1.31 µSv.
AD6 Cryo area
Maximum dose rate measured: 0.37 µSv/h Total integrated dose: 0.2 µSv.
