Status of CARIE facility design and construction
2023Building new experimental facilities to house experiments is an expensive and time-consuming activity. Although usually less expensive, repurposing old experimental facilities to accommodate new ones has its own set of challenges with regard to obsolete equipment, adequacy of electrical power, radioactive shielding and cooling capacity.

Simulation, Design, and Construction of a 137Cs Irradiation Facility
Health Physics, 2007Regulatory entities require that for any radiation facility the surrounding areas must be restricted unless the dose equivalent is less than 0.02 mSv in any one hour. Two Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation codes, MCNP5 and Mercurad, were used to design a facility to shield a 3.48 x 10(5) MBq 137Cs irradiator that meets these requirements ...

Current Trends in Health Facility Planning, Design, and Construction
Frontiers of Health Services Management, 2014It is critical now more than ever for today's healthcare facilities to serve as more than just a backdrop to the care provided--they can, and should, be an integral part of that care. In addition to promoting efficacy, delighting the senses, and placing patients and families at ease, facilities need to be high-performing, sustainable, and healthy ...

Containment facilities: design, construction and working practices
1998Processing biological agents requires the use of containment facilities to ensure that the biological agent is not itself contaminated and to ensure operator and environmental protection. Categorization of biological agents according to hazard and categories of containment is fully described in the ACDP guidelines [1].

Design and construction of an acoustic lab facility
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008This paper will discuss the design and construction of a new acoustic lab facility. The lab consists of a hemi anechoic chamber and a reverberation chamber suite. The hemi anechoic chamber was designed to obtain a 0 dBA noise floor in the frequency range of interest. It features a 200 cubic meter volume inside the wedges.
