Workshop on radiological aspects of SSC operations

Abstract

Integral to the design of an accelerator facility is the provision of adequate shielding to contain any radiation arising from operation of the facility. Complementary to the questions of environmental shielding are a number of radiation questions related to operation of the completed facility. One obvious need is the specification of systems for monitoring environmental emissions to ensure consistency between the design criteria and the actual levels during operation. Another question is the effect on the components of the machine of the radiation within the environmental shield. These questions were examined at the workshop. This report is a summary of the materials presented at the workshop
