Compliance of Bhabhatron‐II telecobalt unit with IEC standard ‐ radiation safety
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India designed and developed a telecobalt unit, which was named as Bhabhatron-II. In this paper, the results pertaining to radiation safety of indigenously developed Bhabhatron-II telecobalt unit are reported. The various tests were carried out as per requirements of International Electrotechnical Commission standard and acceptance criteria developed natio...
متن کاملDesign, implementation and validation of a motorized wedge filter for a telecobalt machine (Bhabhatron-II).
A universal wedge filter of 15W × 20 cm(2) and 60° nominal wedge angle is designed and placed between the collimating jaws and penumbra trimmers inside the treatment head. A pneumatically driven actuating mechanism toggles the wedge between the wedge IN position and wedge OUT position. The effective wedge angles were determined using an analytical formula. An accumulated wedge profile at a dept...
متن کاملAn Introduction to the Safety Standard IEC 615081
The development of a generic international standard on achieving safety of systems based on programmable electronics has been in train for several years. A draft, published in 1995 and referred to as 'IEC 1508', presented the principles embodied in the document, with the result that they began to be influential in sector-specific standards and on the way of thinking about safety. Now IEC 61508,...
متن کاملA Physicist Description of Indigenous Telecobalt Machine Bhahbhatron-II TAW
The newly designed indigenous Bhabhatron-II is installed in our institution. The Telecobalt machines were put into use for Radiotherapy after the possibility of producing High activity sources with smaller dimension which satisfies the ideal requirement of Teletherapy source. The Bhabhatron II head can accommodate nearly 250RMM source strength. Being a computer controlled machine the Bhabhatron...
