A report on beam loss, radiation shielding, and residual radiation experiences and status in the Fermilab Linac and Booster is presented. Historically, the Linac/Booster system has served only as an injector for the relatively low repetition rate Main Ring synchrotron. With the construction of an 8 GeV target station for the 5 Hz MiniBooNE neutrino beam and rapid multi-batch injection into the Main Injector for the NUMI experiment, the demand for Booster protons will increase dramatically over the next few years. Booster beam loss reduction and control are key to the entire future Fermilab high energy physics program.
