(A) Potential production facility layout in the existing Linac: a new fast deflector deviates the beam sufficiently to hit two magnetic septa (green) which steer the beam toward an activation target housed in a concrete shielding. (B) Medical Cyclotron (blue) option to enable parallel beam operation with protons on the Gantry, additional concrete walls (turquois) in the extraction line and at entrance of the injector hall. The production target is connected to the Injector hall via a long gas feed line. (C) Radiopharma Cyclotron (blue) solution implemented in the existing cool down area of IR1 which should also house the production target (orange). Additional radiation protection doors and mace will have to be installed to avoid new access restrictions in near installations.
