The Personnel Protection System for a Synchrotron Radiation Accelerator Facility: Radiation Safety Perspective

The Personnel Protection System (PPS) at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory is summarized and reviewed from the radiation safety point of view. The PPS, which is designed to protect people from radiation exposure to beam operation, consists of the Access Control System (ACS) and the Beam Containment System (BCS). The ACS prevents people from being exposed to the very high radiation l...

Radiation Safety Considerations for the TPS Accelerators

This study investigates the characteristics of prompt radiation field and some issues of induced activities due to the operation of the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS). Starting from assumed beam loss scenarios and using the FLUKA Monte Carlo simulations, energy spectra and dose distributions of the prompt radiation field for its shielding design were studied. Radiation environment around the penetr...

Radiation Safety Analysis for the TPS Accelerators

Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) will be a 3 GeV light source with a circumference of 518.4 m and operating fully at 400 mA in top-up mode, aiming to provide synchrotron light with extremely high brilliance and low emittance. Significant amount of radiation will be produced due to the loss of such high-energy electrons and result in radiation safety concerns. The design objective of radiation safety ...
