Radiological Considerations in the Design of Synchrotron Radiation Facilities
Abstract
As synchrotron radiation (SR) facilities are rapidly being designed
and built all over the world, the radiological considerations should
be weighed carefully at an early stage in the design of the
facility. This necessitates the understanding and identification of
beam losses in the machines, especially the storage ring. The
potential sources of radiation are photons and neutrons from loss of
injected or stored beam, gas bremsstrahlung and synchrotron
radiation. Protection against radiation is achieved through the
adequate design of the shielding walls of the storage ring and the
synchrotron radiation beam lines. In addition safety systems such as
stoppers and shutters provide protection in the forward direction for
entry into the experimental enclosures. Special care needs to be
exercised in the design of SR experimental enclosures to minimize
radiation leakage through penetrations and gaps between doors and
walls, and doors and floors.
