Heavy-Ion Therapy at GSI: Progress Report
In 2000 three Carbon beam blocks were used to treat 32 patients suffering from skull base tumors such as chordomas, chondrosarcomas, adenoid cystic carcinomas and other less frequent indications. Partially these ongoing clinical trials have reached phase II level. In total 73 patients have been treated within this experimental programme and the overwhelming part of treatments had a curative int...
متن کاملUWFDM-890 Environmental and Safety Aspects of ``OSIRIS'': A Heavy Ion Beam Driven IFE Reactor
A detailed safety analysis was performed for the inertial confinement fusion reactor OSIRIS. The radioactivity induced in the carbon fabric chamber concrete shield and Flibe breeder is very low allowing for their disposal at the end of the reactor life as Class A low level waste (LLW). The biological dose rate after shutdown behind the reactor biological shield shield is very low (0.11 μ rem/hr...
متن کاملRecent Progress of Heavy-ion Cancer Radiotherapy with Nirs-himac
The carbon-ion radiotherapy (RT) with HIMAC has been conducted since 1994, and the accumulated number of patients treated exceeded 7,500 in July 2013. On the basis of the HIMAC experience, NIRS developed a compact carbon-ion RT facility in order to boost the carbon-ion RT in Japan, and a pilot facility of this work was constructed and conducted at the Gunma University. Toward the further develo...
متن کاملProgress towards realization of a laser IFE solid wall chamber
The high average power laser (HAPL) program aims at developing laser inertial fusion energy (Laser IFE) based on lasers, direct drive targets and a solid wall chamber. The preferred first wall configuration is based on tungsten and ferritic steel as armor and structural materials, respectively. A key concern is the survival of the first wall under the X-ray and ion energy deposition from the fu...
متن کاملIfe Chamber Technology – Status and Future Challenges
Significant progress has been made on addressing critical issues for inertial fusion energy (IFE) chambers for heavy-ion, laser and Z-pinch drivers. A variety of chamber concepts are being investigated including drywall (currently favored for laser IFE), wetted-wall (applicable to both laser and ion drivers), and thickliquid-wall (favored by heavy ion and z-pinch drivers). Recent progress and r...
