3️⃣ RADIOTHERAPY BUNKER DISMANTLING
Safe Removal & Preparation of LINAC Treatment Rooms
Radiotherapy bunkers are specially designed rooms with heavy shielding to contain radiation. When a LINAC system is removed, the bunker must also be prepared for new installation.
WHAT IS BUNKER DISMANTLING?
Bunker dismantling involves:
Removal of LINAC system
Evaluation of shielding
Preparation for new equipment
KEY COMPONENTS
Shielded walls
Lead or concrete protection
Maze structure
RF and electrical systems
BUNKER DISMANTLING PROCESS
1. Inspection
Structural analysis
Radiation evaluation
2. Equipment Removal
LINAC dismantling
3. Shielding Evaluation
Radiation protection check
4. Modification
Door systems
Penetrations
5. Preparation
Ready for new LINAC installation
RISKS IN BUNKER WORK
Radiation safety
Structural damage
Compliance issues
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING REQUIRED
Only specialized companies can manage:
Radiation shielding
Structural integrity
Compliance
