This report, prepared for the NCRP by experts in the field of radiation protection, provides practical design and operational guidelines for radiation protection at particle accelerator facilities, with energies from ~5 MeV up to the highest energies available, as well as low-energy neutron generators. Accelerators are being increasingly used in medicine, research and industry. Many new installations are currently being built, especially synchrotron radiation machines, and new applications are being developed, such as radioactive waste transmutation. Thus, there is . . .
