Descripción

The Spanish Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) demands a Radiation Protection (RP) report for the commissioning of the Varian BEAMPRO250 cyclotron at Valdecilla Hospital (HUMV) to ensure compliance with legal requirements. 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 determines specific shielding conditions and Radiation Protection occupational zones, aligning with international safety standards. This paper showcases the application of BUNSHI code to the future Proton Therapy facility at Valdecilla Hospital.
