Line 1: Line 1:
-====== Gamma Counting Stations ====== 
- 
- 
-  - Description/Name: Gamma-Ray Counting Station at the 4850-ft level 
-  - Planned use (be specific): 
-     - Primary function: Materials screening 
-     - Temporary and permanent storage: *Separated sample storage rooms for screening and for keeping 
-     - Sample and detector handling: *Clean room with class 10,000, liquid nitrogen,  sample preparation including assay materials, fume hoods  
-     - Jigs, fixtures, scaffolds, etc. necessary: Jigs for sample preparation; Lab fixtures: standard lab requirements aand air monitoring for certain gases 
-     - E & O activities: daily (emergency 24/7); Training students 
-  - Occupancy: 
-     - Steady: Two people 
-     - Peak: Ten people 
-  - Adjacencies (list/distance): 2 meters 
-  - Space size (gsf and/or WxLxH):10 m x 6 m x 4 m 
-  - Experiment Systems: Germanium low background detectors and DAQ system  
-  - Shielding: Very stout floor for shield; Copper, lead, poly bricks, water walls 
-  - Floor load (PSF): (Pb ~12 g/cm3) a 1-m high shield would be 1,200 g/cm2 or about 2400 lbs/ft2. Round up for safety ~ 1.5 tons/ft2. 
-  - Material handling (cranes, etc.) Movable crane/floor rail for heavy item movement 
-  - Finishes (walls/floor/ceiling):) Class 10,000 clean standard 
-  - Casework: 
-  - Storage: purge cabinets; LN2 
-  - Furniture/Fixtures/Equipment (non-experiment): chemical storage cabinets, storage cabinets, etching tanks and rinse tanks for cleaning lead, a)Glove box (ea 3x3ft^2=9ft^2: 9ft^2); b)Assembly Table: 4 (ea 5 x 5 ft^2 = 25 ft^2: 100 ft^2) (with test equipments, can be combined to form single larger assembly support tables); c) Chairs: 4 (ea 3 x 3 ft^2 = 9 ft^2: 32 ft^2); d)Electronics Racks: 1 (3 x 2 ft^2 = 6 ft^2: 6 ft^2); e)Parts Storage Cabinets: 4 (4 x 2 ft^2 = 8 ft^2: 64ft^2); Chemical storage cabinets 4 (4 x 2 ft^2 = 8 ft^2: 64ft^2).
