  The Beijing Radioactive Ion-Beam Facility (BRIF) is being constructed at CIAE. The project consists of a 100 MeV high intensity cyclotron CYCIAE-100, an ISOL system with a mass resolution of 20000, and a superconducting booster. The construction of the building was started on April 28, 2011 and the roof was sealed on Jan. 16, 2012. The on-site installation conditions have been ready since Sept. 27, 2012. Up to now, the fabrication of all major components for CYCIAE-100 have been completed, including the main magnet system, the RF system, ion source and injection, main vacuum, etc. The equipment fabrication for the ISOL system has been completed and magnetic mapping and shimming is being performed on the large-scale analysis magnet. The fabrication of the major components for the superconducting booster has been accomplished, and the work on copper-niobium sputtering is under way. At present, the installation and assembly is in full swing and the beam commissioning is to predicted to be finished in mid 2013. Taking advantage of the experiences accumulated on the CRM cyclotron with beam up to 430 uA, it is likely that the first beams of 100 MeV can be achieved by the end of 2013.

  With the increasing applications of cyclotrons in health care, a number of cyclotrons ranging from several MeVs to hundreds MeVs have used for radio diagnostic and radiation therapy. A 14 MeV PET cyclotron, CYCIAE-14, has been installed in a shielding building for tests at CIAE that can be used for FDG production and boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In the mean time, the development of a 235MeV cyclotron, CYCIAE-235, which can be used for proton therapy, is in progress at the same laboratory. In terms of the cyclotron application in factories and hospitals, an appropriate radiation shielding design is of critical importance. In the case of CYCIAE-14 and CYCIAE-235, the neutron source of different cyclotrons has been estimated to define the thickness of the total shielding, and the concrete is selected as the main shielding material. For CYCIAE-14 specifically, local shielding has been implemented. This paper will give an introduction to the radiation shielding design for CYCIAE-14 and CYCIAE-235 respectively. The typical layout for the application of the two machines is presented in this paper which can be applied in factories and hospitals as well.

  A compact high intensity cyclotron CYCIAE-100 was selected as the driver for the Beijing Radioactive Ion Facility (BRIF). A pressure of 5×10-8 mbar is required to achieve acceptable beam losses in the CYCIAE-100 cyclotron. As the existing ports on the cyclotron valley are insufficient to provide enough pumping speed using commercially available pumps, two tailored cryopanels with a pumping speed of 60000 l/s for each are designed. Based on the Monte-Carlo method, a mathematical model of molecular movement and collision between the panels and their shield was developed. The ratio of molecular reflected to the baffle to molecular passing through the baffle is the sticking probability on the panels. When taking the transmission probability of the chevron baffle, capture coefficient of cryopanel can be calculated. It could provide a reference to design the cryopanel shape and its condensation area.
