This paper describes operational radiation protection issues specific to high-intensity accelerators, aimed at the radiological safety of high-intensity accelerators during construction and operation. The paper is composed of chapters on safety characteristics, radiological safety design and safety management systems of high-intensity accelerators. The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is taken as a reference, because J-PARC was recently completed after collecting and referring to experiences with existing accelerator facilities all over the world.
