The ATFI Facilities for the PISC III Programme

THE INITIAL USE OF THE AFTI FACILITIES (ATELIER DES TUBES DE FORCE IRRADIES) WAS TO PERFORM, IN THE FRAME OF THE ORGEL PROGRAMME, EXAMINATION AND CONTROLS ON IRRADIATED PRESSURES TUBES AND THE CUTTING OF THESE PRESSURE TUBES FOR DELIVERY TO EXPERIMENTAL WORKERS OR FOR EVACUATION AS WASTE. SINCE THE END OF THE ORGRAL PROGRAMME, THE ATFI FACILITIES HAVE ALSO BEEN USED FOR SPECIFIC MEASUREMENTS ON OTHER IRRADIATED MATERIALS. IN 1983, THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES DECIDED THAT THE ATFI FACILITIES HAD TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM: 1. THE ULTRASONIC AND X-RAY EXAMINATIONS OF CONTAMINATED STEEL SPECIMENS UP TO 4 TONS, 1M3 AS MAXIMUM OVERALL DIMENSIONS AND 250 NM MAX. THICKNESS, WITH A MAX. RADIOACTIVITY CONTACT DOSE LESS THAN 1 REM/H AND LITTLE TRANSFERABLE CONTAMINATION; 2. THE DESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION OF THESE CONTAMINATED SPECIMENS.
