Complete Safety Guide for LINAC Removal



Removing a linear accelerator is one of the most complex operations in medical engineering. It involves radiation safety, heavy equipment handling, and regulatory compliance.


This guide explains how to remove a LINAC safely.





SAFETY RISKS IN LINAC REMOVAL




Radiation Exposure



Even after shutdown, safety checks are required.



Heavy Equipment



LINAC components are extremely heavy.



Bunker Constraints



Limited space increases risk.





SAFE LINAC REMOVAL PROCESS




1. Pre-Planning



  • Site inspection

  • Risk assessment




2. Safety Procedures



  • Radiation verification

  • Power isolation




3. Controlled Dismantling



  • Mechanical separation

  • Electrical disconnection




4. Lifting Operations



  • Use of specialized equipment

  • Controlled movement




5. Transport



  • Secure packaging

  • Safe handling






COMMON MISTAKES



  • Using non-specialized contractors

  • Ignoring safety procedures

  • Poor planning



These lead to serious risks.





WHY PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS ARE REQUIRED

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
