Sullivan‘An estimate, of likely radiation and radioactivity levels is needed at the design stage of an accelerator for deciding the radiation safety features to be incorporated in. the infrastructure of the machine and for predicting where radiation damage possibilities will have to be taken into ‘account. Both these aspects can have a significant influence fon the machine layout and cost. Failure to make a reasonable assessment at the right time may have tar reaching consequences for future costs. The purpose of this uide is to bring together basic data and methods that have been found useful in assessing radiation situations around accelerators and to provide a practical means of arriving at the radiation and induced radioactivity levels that could occur under a wide variety of circumstances. An attempt is made to Present tho information in a direct and unambiguous way with Sufficient confidence that the necessity for large safety factors is avoided. In many cases assumptions and simpitications have been made and reliance placed on ‘extrapolating trom experimental data into regions whore the basic physics is too complicated to make meaningful absolute calculations. Wherever possible such extrapolations have been tied to real or otherwise acceptable data originating from independent sources. ‘Nuclear Technology Publishing PO, Box7 Kent TN23 1YW EnglandA Guide to Radiation and Radioactivity Levels Near High Energy Particle Accelerators A.
