it is unlikely that the radiology equipment could possibly be larger than equipment that has been in the building before,
I don't know what sort of "radiology equipment" they are planning to put in, but I'd be surprised if it was smaller than the equipment that has been in the building before. Particle accelerators can get very big. Brookhaven National Lab has a synchotron that's 843 ft in diameter.
I'm guessing (and hoping) that they are going to make their own radiation on site, rather than mining, processing, transporting, and storing dangerous long-half-life radioactive materials. Safer for the community, safer for the world, and opens up new potential treatments.
As far as I know, the "Tandem" still exists in the back of DRL.
Don't know if it still is in working condition or not.
It's been there since the Penn-Princeton Accelerator project back in the 60s.
At one time it generated "radiated gasses" for HUP, and piped them "through the steam tunnels."
Yeah, been there, seen them, they (both the tunnels and the pipes) existed when we built PennNet back in the early 70s. At that point the lines had been unused for some time. I think they were removed not too long after we started working on PennNet, but I don't know for certain.
