For the radioactive nuclear beam facility at KEK Tanashi based on an isotope separator online (ISOL), two different types of ion sources are currently employed: a single stage 6.4 GHz ECR and a surface ionization-type ion sources. Several proton-rich radioactive nuclear beams were developed for astr

β¦ Synopsis
The increasing scientific demand for new isotopes farther from stability has created a need for dealing with targets and ion sources capable of handling higher primary-beam powers. The induced residual radiation makes hands-on maintenance not possible. However, remote handling of complex systems is difficult and costly. The engineering challenges are to achieve long-term target availability while minimizing radiation exposure to workers and to the environment. In order to realize these goals, it is essential to develop an overall strategy to deal with the prompt radiation, the activated components, the volatile contamination and the loose contamination.
