DESIGN STUDY FOR THE UCSF PROTON FACILITY

加州大学旧金山分校(UCSF)正计划建造 作为其新的综合癌症的一部分的质子治疗设备 中心。加州大学旧金山分校的质子设施将安装在较低的一层 一座容纳癌症中心研究设施的新建筑，以 位于加州大学旧金山分校锡安山医院和医疗中心所在地。加州大学旧金山分校 和LBL正在达成一项协议，以推进这个项目；LBL将 设计加速器、束流传输和束流输送系统，将 监督它们的建设，并将负责调试和 锡安山质子设施的初步运行。AS结构 的加速器系统可能会在至少一年内完工 在新建筑完工之前，加速器将安装完毕 在Bvalac的实验区内，并连接到 目前正在运营的治疗设施。这将允许完全 加速器试运行，从初始运行到完全运行 在将质子束运送到 它在锡安山的永久位置。即将开展的工作 作为这项奖助金申请的一部分的一年对这项计划的成功至关重要 项目。今年年初将就主要问题做出决定 技术系统的规格和架构。剩下的 的时间将花在全面的设计和成本计算活动上， 导致了一份完整的设计报告的产生。详细设计将 从临床、医学物理学、 加速器物理和工程人员.最终规范 在一年中出现的每个要素都是由于 设计、功能和成本优化研究。设计报告将 还包括项目常规方面的范围和成本计算； 我们将与加州大学旧金山分校的A&E代表合作，将加州大学旧金山分校 质子设施纳入综合癌症中心计划。一项分析 法规要求，合规文件的成本将是 估计也是如此。最后，该设施的运作模式将 以确定所需的持续运营成本。完整的 设计报告将是整个加州大学旧金山分校质子设施的蓝图， 这将是一份基本上适合作为竞标方案的文件。

The University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) is planning to build a proton therapy facility as a part of its new Comprehensive Cancer Center. The UCSF Proton Facility will be installed in the lower levels of a new building housing research facilities for the Cancer Center, to be located at UCSF's Mount Zion Hospital and Medical Center site. UCSF and LBL are entering into an agreement to advance this project; LBL will design the accelerator, beam transport and beam delivery systems, will oversee their construction and will be responsible for commissioning and initial operation of the Proton Facility at Mount Zion. As construction of the accelerator systems will probably be finished at least one year prior to the new building's completion, the accelerator will be installed within the experimental area of the Bevalac, and connected to the currently-operating treatment facilities. This will allow for full commissioning of the accelerator, from initial operation to full readiness for clinical use of the proton beam, prior to its transport to its permanent location at Mount Zion. Work to be performed this coming year as part of this Grant application is critical to the success of this project. Very early in the year decisions will be made on the major specifications and architecture of the technical systems. The remainder of the time will be spent in full-scale design and costing activities, leading to the production of a Full Design Report. Detailed designs will emerge from very close interfacing between clinical, medical physics, accelerator physics and engineering personnel; final specifications for each element emerging during the course of the year as a result of design, function and cost optimization studies. The design report will include scope and costing of conventional aspects of the project as well; we will be working with A&E representatives of UCSF to integrate the UCSF Proton Facility into the Comprehensive Cancer Center plans. An analysis of regulatory requirements, and costs for compliance documents will be estimated as well. Finally, a model for operations of the facility will be developed, to identify required ongoing operations costs. The Full Design Report will be a blueprint for the entire UCSF Proton Facility, it will be a document essentially suitable as a bid package.
