MEDICIS Power converters commissioning
The CERN-MEDICIS facility is an extension of the existing class A building 179. Within this extension are located the targets which produce radioisotopes. The targets are irradiated in the HRS dump position with the beam coming from the PSB. Once the irradiation process is finalized, the targets are brought back in CERN-MEDICIS by robots. Radioactive…
