Professional Linear Accelerator Dismantling Process Explained
Linear accelerator dismantling is a highly specialized engineering process that requires experience, precision, and strict safety procedures. Improper dismantling can result in serious risks, including equipment damage, structural damage, and safety hazards.
This guide explains the step-by-step LINAC dismantling process used in professional radiotherapy engineering projects.
WHAT IS LINAC DISMANTLING?
LINAC dismantling refers to the controlled disassembly of a radiotherapy system for:
Decommissioning
Relocation
Disposal
It involves both mechanical and electrical engineering operations.
STEP 1: SITE ASSESSMENT
Before dismantling begins, a detailed site inspection is performed.
Includes:
Bunker structure analysis
Access route evaluation
Equipment condition
Risk assessment
A custom dismantling plan is created.
STEP 2: SAFETY PREPARATION
Safety is the most critical stage.
Procedures:
Radiation safety checks
Power shutdown
Lockout/tagout systems
Work area isolation
Only trained engineers should perform this step.
STEP 3: SYSTEM SHUTDOWN
The LINAC system is safely powered down.
Electrical disconnection
Control system shutdown
Safety verification
STEP 4: ELECTRICAL DISMANTLING
Electrical components are removed first.
Includes:
Control cabinets
Cabling systems
Interface panels
This reduces risk during mechanical dismantling.
STEP 5: MECHANICAL DISMANTLING
The most critical phase.
Components removed:
Treatment head
Gantry
Base frame
Special lifting equipment is required.
STEP 6: ACCESSORY REMOVAL
Patient couch
Imaging systems
Accessories
STEP 7: INTERNAL TRANSPORT
All parts are safely moved out of the bunker.
Controlled lifting
Protected transport routes
STEP 8: PACKAGING & TRANSPORT
If relocation is planned:
Equipment is packed
Prepared for shipping
STEP 9: SITE CLEARANCE
Area cleaning
Waste removal
Final inspection
The room is prepared for new installation.
WHY PROFESSIONAL DISMANTLING IS IMPORTANT
Improper dismantling can lead to:
Safety risks
Equipment damage
Legal issues
Professional engineers ensure safe and efficient execution.
