Descripción

The Spanish Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) demands a Radiation Protection (RP) study for the commissioning and operating authorization of the BeamPro 250 cyclotron at Valdecilla Hospital (HUMV). In response, the Physics Institute of Cantabria (IFCA) has developed a Geant4-based simulation tool called BUNSHI. Given the machine's geometry and anticipated annual workload, this tool accurately estimates specific shielding conditions and Radiation Protection occupational zones, aligning with international safety standards and legal requirements. This paper showcases the application of the BUNSHI code to the future Proton Therapy facility at Valdecilla Hospital.
