Papers are included on the shielding facilities of the Univ. of Calif. Radiation Lab. Synchrocyclutron, Carnegie lnst. of Tech. Synchrocyclotron, Univ. of Chicago Synchrocyclotron, Columbia Univ. Synchrocyclotron, Harvard Univ. Synchrocyclotron, Univ. of Rochester Synchrocyclotron, Brookhaven National Lab. Proton Synchrotron, Univ. of Calif. Radiation Lab. Proton Synchrotron, Calif. Inst. of Tech. Electron Synchrotron, Mass. Inst. of Tech. Electron, Synchrotron, National Bureau of Standards Electron Synchrotron, Purdue Univ. Electron Synchrotron, Cornell Univ. Electron Synchrotron, and Stanford Univ. Linear Accelerator. Other papers were given on factors influencing shield design and accelerator location, composition, properties, and cost of high-density concretes, legal radiation-safety responsibilities of accelerator projects, Monte Carlo calculations on the high-energy radiation component in the shield, attenuation, build-up factors, skyshine, calculational methods for reactor shielding, data required for shielding experiments with high-energy particles, effect of ionizing radiation on mammals and its implications for accelerator shielding, radiation induced cataracts, maximum permissible radiation levels, and future trends in maximum permissible radiation levels. Shielding designs presented for accelerators now under construction are Argonne National Lab. 12.5 Bev Electron Accelerator, Princeton-Penna. 3-Bev High-Intensity Proton Synchrotron, Brookhaven National Lab. 30-Bev Proton AGS, new Cosmotron shielding, shielding work at Stanford Univ., and Brookhaven National Lab. AGS. (M.H.R.)
