A photon/safety shutter capable of stopping bremsstrahlung, white, pink, and monochromatic radiation from the APS wiggler and undulator sources is described. The shutter consists of two individually actuated but redundant block assemblies. Each block consists of a water-cooled, OFHC block thermal absorber followed by a tungsten block to stop both synchrotron and bremsstrahlung rays. The design presented here is inexpensive and spatially compact. Fatigue analysis and ANSYS thermal and stress analysis are presented. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
