[Sneap] SF6 information

[Van Deusen, Stuart B]

We do not have a dedicated emergency exhaust for either our EN tandem (uses a couple of percent SF6 in N/CO2) or AN (uses about 12 percent SF6 in N/CO2) accelerators.  The AN is in a fully enclosed concrete vault with an ceiling exhaust fan (no other ventilation other than the door and wall penetrations for beam line and shorting bar) which is used while venting and filling the tank.  The tandem is inside of building partition and concrete block shield walls and part of regular building ventilation.
