Abstract
Fermilab has some 25,000 (7,600 meters) feet of bare steel high energy particle beam piping ranging in size from 6-inch to 72-inch (150 mm to 1,800 mm). The piping is used to contain high energy particle beams traveling from the accelerator ring to targets. The cathodic protection required a complex design to overcome many shielding problems and to avoid interference with the many other underground structures on the site. Since cathodic protection current traveling through some of the magnet enclosures could affect beam instrumentation, careful attention had to be paid to dielectric isolation. A combination of surface and deep anodes were used, with special concern for environmental protection
