The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS II), a Department of Energy (DOE) Facility, is subject to the DOE radiation protection rules established in 10 CFR 835. It is planned to operate with an administrative control level of 100 mrem per year, well within the legal limits established in Part 835. Shielding for the NSLS II beamlines will be designed to maintain levels through the shielding to < 0.05 mrem/hr. A worker could work immediately adjacent to the shielded enclosure along the beam line for 2000 hours per year and not exceed >100 mrem/year, such that the individual beamline scientist dose will be (ALARA).
