Abstract :
Proton intensities of about three times the original design value of 1013 protons/pulse (ppp) have recently been achieved in the CERN-SPS. Failures due to the resulting elevated energy deposition densities in targets and absorbers are reported and the design and construction of new, fail safe equipment is described.
