Abstract
The development of high-power beam dumps and catchers, and pre-separator layouts for proposed fragment separators of the Rare-Isotope Accelerator (RIA) Facility are important in realizing how to handle the 400 kW in the primary beam. Examples of pre-conceptual designs of the pre-separator area and components, along with examples of ongoing radiation simulations with results characterizing the secondary radiation are given. These initial studies will yield insight into the impact of the high-power dissipation on fragment separator design, remote handling concepts, nuclear safety and potential facility hazard classification, shielding design, civil construction design, component design, and material choices. Furthermore, they will provide guidance on detailed radiation analyses as designs mature.
