Tsukubs, Japan back in 1984. I had to have a crash course on radiation and had to wear 3 radiation badges! The instrument I was installing was used on the electrons and not the nucleus, so once the beam was shut down the radiation also stopped whereas on the nucleus rings, the radiation would last for a couple of days and disperse in all directions. Likely they were installing a 4th ring while I was there and the accelerator was shut down. So I received more radiation from my flight over then while I was there. The training was still invaluable and I also enjoyed your explanation in this article. ThanksKendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286434505437508896noreply@blogger.com
